Music and Movement is a perfect and fun way to introduce young children to music! Children will learn songs, nursery rhymes, develop inhibitory control, use a variety of instruments, and enjoy energetic movement while in class. Class time will involve interspersing fast and slow movements, moving and stopping, as well as discussing and identifying high sounds, low sounds, exploring the many moods of music, their aspects they relate to, and more! This class is intended for children between the ages of 2 and 3 years old.

The bART has been a place where I can be around people who share the same passion and love for music I do.
The bART has introduced me to amazing people who I will miss after I leave. I have learned from my peers and also figured out that their styles are their own, and my style is just as artistic and beautiful.
Double majoring in Engineering and Math on top of practicing regularly was not the easiest thing I’ve ever done, but music helped me keep my sanity. Not to mention the eureka moments I experienced when my education at the bART actually applied to real life math problems involving sequences.
The bART has given her vision. She is beginning to see herself as a very capable musician, looking forward to studying music in college and beyond…. the bART is shaping within her the kind of goal-oriented drive necessary for success in any endeavor.
The entire Bart faculty is quite gifted musically, and moreover they are uniformly excellent at communicating the thought, effort, dedication, creativity, and FUN that all comprise making music. Our children love this place!
I have developed discipline from daily practice. I have improved my time and management skills greatly. My self-confidence has increased greatly from playing in performances. My appreciation for music has increased. I have made good friends at the bART.
