See Prelude featured on Fox News!

Prelude provides music and movement classes for children from birth through kindergarten who are accompanied by their parents or caregivers. Classes are held on weekday mornings, afternoons and on Saturdays.

Children and their parents experience live classical instrument demonstrations presented by world-class musicians. Families are encouraged to attend class together, so siblings can learn music and movement activities to enjoy at home. Classes use Music Together curriculum, a research based music and movement program. This curriculum develops a child''s basic music competence by encouraging interactive music experiences rather than learning information about music. Up to 12 children and their caregivers meet for 45 minutes each week for 10 weeks to experience new songs, chants, movement activities and play instruments that are developmentally age appropriate. Both adults and children participate. Every family receives two CDs of the music, a song book and parent education materials. Each semester, an evening of parent education is offered to those enrolled in the program.

It is never too early for children to experience the wonder of music and experience making music first hand, states Music Director Ana Trevino-Godfrey. Children, even newborns, gravitate to music instinctively and it is never too late for parents to discover that music appreciation is an evolving life-long skill that they can enjoy for a lifetime with their families. All classes are taught by AnaTrevino-Godfrey, a classically trained professional singer, with her Doctorate of Music at Rice University. She has taught children of all ages from infancy to professional lives, including teaching at Interlochen Arts Camp, the Cleveland Institute of Music, Rice University and Rice University's Preparatory Summer Vocal Camp. In 2007, her love of music and children inspired her to create Prelude Music Classes for Children. She is a registered Music Together teacher and is founding member and Soprano soloist with Mercury Baroque.
