What We Do

Come experience our fun-filled classes of singing, dancing, movement, games, and instrument play! Our classes are designed for babies, toddlers, and young children ages 0-6! We truly believe that VARIETY, REPETITION, and FUN are the keys to learning! Parents and caregivers will also learn the best tools and techniques for continuing their child’s education at home! Discover the very best in early childhood music education!

Our Mission

The most critical time in a child’s development is from birth through age five. More than just a sing-a-long, the programs we offer are interactive, physically engaging for every child, super energetic and fun, and specifically designed to expose your child to a wide variety of scales, rhythms, instruments, and styles to maximize musical potential. Our mission is to stimulate brain and muscle development through music and encourage musical aptitude while providing a fun, safe, and energetic learning environment for children and their parents. Our dedicated and talented teachers are carefully trained to stimulate this learning through playful, silly, and fun classroom interaction. Researchers have documented that exposure to music in early childhood has a positive effect on the brain, and that the earlier you start, the better!

Primary Goals

Early childhood music classes are essentially "step one" in a child's music education. Our primary goals are:
  1. To achieve Independent Music Accuracy: the ability to sing in tune and keep a steady beat.
  2. To maximize your child's musical potential through a variety of sounds and styles.
  3. To instill a life-long love and understanding of music!

The Team

We are a small, mom-owned, independent business with an excellent team of dedicated teachers. We have been making music with families on Southport in Lakeview for almost 10 years! The Music Playhouse of Chicago team passionately believes in the power, the joy, and the effectiveness of music education.  We are honored to be a significant, positive influence on the lives of our young students, and delighted to provide a strong foundation for a lifelong love and understanding of music!  All of our talented teachers are professional performers who love children and have strong musical skills.  We seriously love what we do, and we love being a part of your family's week! See "Teachers" to learn more about Miss Crystal, Miss Erin, Mr. Cole, Miss Jaime, and Miss Kat!
