The program centers around four basic principles: 1. All children are born musical; 2. All children can achieve basic musical competence, such as learning to sing in tune and dance accurately to a beat; 3. It is important for parents and caregivers to participate in class and model music-making for their children, regardless of their own musical ability; 4. The environment that best fosters young children's musical growth is playful, musically rich, and developmentally appropriate.
