Wee Voices- Where Little Ones Make Big Music!
Register below for Wee Voices, Higher Voice Studio’s music and movement classes for babies, preschool children, and the adults who love them.
Did you know we’re all born musical? From rhythm and movement to pitch and play, babies and preschool children naturally absorb music just like they learn to walk and talk—through movement, imitation and interaction. In a rich musical environment, this innate ability flourishes!
Higher Voice Studio, Western PA’s top private voice studio, is proud to introduce Wee Voices, a joyful music and movement class for our littlest ones, ages 0 to 5 and their grownups. No experience needed—just bring your curiosity and love for making memories with your child!
About Wee Voices
In our movement and music class for babies and pre-school children, you and your child will:
- Listen to, explore, and create music as a community.
- Connect through rhythm, pitch, and vibration.
- Sing, dance, and play in a free-spirited setting. Participation is always on your terms—whether your child claps along, wiggles to the beat, or simply observes, they’re learning and growing.
- Bring music into your daily life! Learn songs that fit seamlessly into playtime, mealtime, bath time, bedtime—anytime!
Like a one-room schoolhouse, Wee Voices is a music and movement class that brings together children of all ages in a collaborative environment where babies and younger children learn by watching, older children grow by leading, and families enjoy the experience together.
Our curriculum draws from a diverse range of musical traditions, including:
- Traditional nursery rhymes
- Folk, jazz, and world music traditions
- A variety of tonalities and rhythms to expand your child’s musical foundation
By exploring music from around the world, children develop a richer understanding of music and culture. Music learning is cumulative, and our music and movement class for babies and preschool children grows with your child, laying the foundation for a lifelong love of music.
With 90% of all brain development happening by the time a child reaches five years of age, Wee Voices offers that rare opportunity for parents to prepare their child for the future, while helping them enjoy these precious moments of childhood, today. Together, you will co-create a meaningful relationship with music that they will carry with them their whole lives.
