Students will be able to jam, and collaborate with other students, to create duets, groups or solos.

Each day will build on previous lessons and the final project will be a cumulative project to be presented in a performance on the last day.

Includes one snack and bottled water. 

Limited to 10 students per class. 

Payment must be made prior to the first class.

3-5 year olds love our Lil Buds preschool music classes

Introducing "Lil Buds" our music program for our little budding musicians!   This is the perfect class for kids  who have outgrown toddler music classes but who are not quite ready for private music lessons yet.  Come have fun with us singing, dancing, playing rhythm instruments, ukulele and piano as well as learning how to read music.   A new lesson is introduced every week for 6 weeks. 

Please note: Students younger than 3 and a half may not be ready for our curriculum. (must be able to read the letters A-G and read the numbers 1-8)

We only accept 8 students in each class in order to give more individual attention. 

6 week classes are $65 and will be billed before the first class. 

Children are musical by nature. Nurture that at Denver Academy of Musical Arts
Lil Buds play real instruments at Denver Academy of Musical Arts

Workshop is based on enrollment. It may be cancelled if not enough participants are enrolled.  There are no refunds for missed lessons. If  DAMA cancels one of the classes, we will reschedule at the end of the session.
