NEW! We are excited to announce the launch of a pilot program with Annapolis Symphony Academy’s  Discovery Mini: Early Childhood Music Classes that have  been specially designed for our youngest creators.

In this playful, hands-on music class, our  young learners will make and experience music through movement, singing, rhythm, and simple instruments. Through guided exploration of  sounds through songs, chants, and creative play, students will build early listening, rhythm, and coordination skills sparking curiosity and a love of music from the very start.

  • Discovery Childhood Music Education classes are targeted for children grades 1-2. These engaging and playful classes are designed for children to both make music and understand music. Activities are based on the Orff Schulwerk approach to music and include speaking poems and chants, singing from a diverse repertoire of songs, playing pitched and unpitched instruments, and moving to music in structured and unstructured ways. Active music making is the core of the classes, developing fundamental aural, rhythmic and notation skills. Students will also have the opportunity to improvise simple melodies and accompaniments. The Discovery classes are designed to sow the seeds of life long music lovers.

    Discovery classes are taught by music teachers with degrees in music education, as well as additional graduate work in the Orff Schulwerk approach to music making. 

CAC’s FY26 free education programs are made possible through the generous support of: Annapolis Symphony Academy; AACPS; Arundel Community Development Services/County Executive Support Grant; Grace Foundation; Helen Pumphrey Denit Trust; M&T Charitable Foundation; Nora Roberts Foundation; Kathy and Jerry Wood Foundation; and St. Christopher’s Church Foundation.
