  • 10 Levels • 10 Books • 10 Instruments

  • Engaging activities, stickers, and games in every book

  • A clear pathway that takes about 60 weeks to complete

Inside Every Class:

Table • Rug • Stage

Each lesson is broken into three fun, 10-minute segments designed to keep young learners engaged:

  • Table Time: Workbook, flashcards, and whiteboard activities that introduce new concepts.

  • Rug Time: Rhythm, note reading, and expression through games, movement, and role-play.

  • Stage Time: Hands-on exploration of a new instrument, from voice and guitar to drums, violin, flute, and more.
