Children's Music Studio

Our goals are to develop music literacy and foster joyful music-making that will continue throughout life.

Our philosophy is that children are whole beings that respond to music holistically. We believe that all children are musical and that we can help all children to develop their musical skills so as to reach their full musical potential. We use the Musikgarten curriculum because we believe it best meets the needs of the whole child through the use of quality folk songs and developmentally appropriate musical activities.

Children's Music Studio is a part of the Community Music Project, a not-for-profit arts organization that has been in existence since 1978. The Community Music Project also oversees the Chautauqua Chamber Singers and the Jamestown Choral Society.
