Music Sprouts with Junko: Spring 2025
Thursday, April 10 @ 1:30 pm – 2:00 pm

Music and movement for preschoolers!
Is your 3–5 year old ready to jam? Join Junko for a dynamic 8-week registered class designed especially for preschool-aged kids.
In this class, your child will experience storytelling through songs and actions, practice responding to what they hear, and discover how their body naturally reacts to music. They’ll begin to develop body control through large movements such as hopping and stopping on cue. They’ll practice using their singing voices and sharpen their listening skills through ear training and call-and-response. As they learn to feel the beat in their bodies, they’ll also explore instruments like hand drums and rhythm sticks.
Caregivers must stay onsite and may relax in the cafe during the session, or enjoy the museum with siblings.
Music Sprouts is a joyful journey into rhythm, movement, and self-expression guided by Junko Yamauchi Stewart, a multitalented musician and educator, and founder of BENI Daiko Taiko Ensemble.
Class fee does not include required museum admission (free for members; non-members see admission prices and/or membership rates). If the class has sold out, you can join the waitlist.
Dates: Apr 10–Jun 5 (no class May 15.)
Registration will continue until all spots in the class are full.
Price: $40 for 8 sessions
Be sure to read our cancellation and refund policies.
