When is a child ready for older classes or a different program?
It is recommended that children attend mixed age class through age four. There are many great reasons why an older child might stay in the mixed age class: allows for the whole family to be together, including younger and older siblings; it is a chance for the older child to be the BIG kid, using their musical knowledge to take on leadership, a rare opportunity at this age for many children; they can revisit the familiar music together experience with new developmental abilities they didn’t have when they were younger. Older children are welcome up to age 4 in the mixed age class.
