Music and Play

Often copied but never replicated…our industry-leading TMC® classes are your child’s FIRST step in music education!

Full of singing, dancing, movement, and instrument play, parents learn how to enrich their child’s music environment, increase music potential, and understand their child’s music development through The Music Class program. This leading, developmentally appropriate, mixed-age program allows siblings to enjoy their first music classes together and is designed for infants through 4-year-olds, each with a parent or caregiver.

Classes are offered in three, 10-week terms and one 6-week summer session each year and discounts are provided to students who register in more than one class each year. Siblings (8 months of age or under – at the time of the first class) may attend classes free of charge, and siblings 9 months and over receive discounted tuition. Lessons are 45 minutes long and enrollment is limited to 12 students (plus caregivers) per class.

Each family receives a digital download of materials with a broad variety of sounds and activities designed to stimulate musical learning. The library consists of 12 different themes allowing you to enjoy TMC® classes for three years with all-new music for each session.

THE M&P COMMUNITY
Since early 2012, students and families from across Calgary have called Music and Play home. During this time, we have welcomed over 5,000 students through our doors and have been privileged to offer the leading music programs in the City for artists of all ages. Over the years, we have watched our students grow and change, and we have done so as well.

This can all sound impressive and might be seen as impersonal and commercial, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. At M&P, it is not simply about getting numbers through the door – and you may notice that it’s not the name of the owner on the door.  M&P is dedicated to its students and building great people – people who embrace ‘music and play’ for their lifetime.  M&P’s owners and faculty come from extensive backgrounds in education and the performing arts and have high standards when it comes to blending the two, but they all know that it’s not about them – it’s about their students. They know the joys, and struggles, of pursuing a dream in the arts, and this is why M&P makes sure that students come first. This means providing a nurturing, high-quality learning environment where our students can achieve and reach THEIR goals. Our stringent standards actually pose one of the greatest challenges for the company as not every teacher is a fit to teach at Music and Play.

At Music and Play we want our students to go beyond the notes, the words and the steps and into the world of creativity and the arts!

THANKS
We would like to thank everyone who has supported M&P over the last decade. We look forward to the next decade as we will continue to grow together with our faculty and students, their families and our community and as we continue to change the way performing arts education should be delivered.
