What to expect from a kids' music class for toddlers

Music programs for young children in NYC are mostly caregiver-and-child classes — singing, rhythm instruments and movement — from a few months old up to about age 4, in 45-minute sessions that run for a term of 8 to 15 weeks. From around age 5 or 6, options split into group classes (choir, early piano, ukulele, rock band) and private lessons on an instrument. Group classes typically supply instruments; private lessons expect the child to have one at home to practice on. Most schools offer a trial class or a single lesson before you commit to a term. At 1 to 3 years old, classes are short (30 to 45 minutes), a caregiver is usually expected to participate, and the real skills being taught are following a routine, taking turns and being comfortable in a group. Most programs in this band publish a lower age limit in months; an "Ages 2-3" class is not the same as an "18 months-3" one, so check the range before booking.
