A Joyful, Zero-Pressure Introduction to Music for Ages 6–11

Watch your child try 3 instruments, make a mini band, and build confidence — all in 45 unforgettable minutes.

What Is Music Launchpad?

Choosing a first instrument can feel overwhelming — especially if you’re not sure what your child will enjoy. That’s why we created the Music Launchpad: a fun, hands-on way for kids to explore music before committing to weekly lessons. In 45 minutes, kids will:

🎵 Rotate through drums, piano, and guitar

✍️ Write simple lyrics using kid-friendly prompts

🎸 Build a mini band using layering techniques

🎤 Perform for parents at the end

🌟 Receive a special praise moment + lyric sheet

All in a supportive small-group setting — only 6 kids per workshop. Kids leave feeling proud, creative, and confident. Parents leave knowing exactly which instrument sparks excitement for their child. No pressure. No overwhelm. Just joyful learning, creativity, and connection.
