The Music Studio Atlanta Launches Music Program for Preschoolers
The Music Studio Atlanta now offers Music FunTime™, a unique, research-based music curriculum for preschoolers ages 2 ½ to 6.

The Music Studio Atlanta is now offering Music FunTime™, an innovative, research-backed music curriculum for preschoolers ages 2 ½ to 6. The program is the only one of its kind currently available in the Southeast, providing a comprehensive and engaging approach to music education for young children.
Designed based on the latest research in early childhood development, Music FunTime introduces young learners to music theory in an interactive, play-based environment. The curriculum employs musical crafts, games, worksheets, and instruments to create a fun, structured experience that builds a solid musical foundation.
“Music FunTime is a groundbreaking program that teaches children how to read music the same way they learn letters and numbers—through colorful visuals and hands-on activities,” said Cecilia Rowe, owner of The Music Studio Atlanta. “Our goal is to make learning music enjoyable and accessible for children of all ages, while laying the groundwork for lifelong skills.”
Independent studies, including research from Johns Hopkins University, have shown that early exposure to music enhances a child’s cognitive abilities. Children enrolled in Music FunTime develop improved skills in reading, math, language comprehension, and communication.

Research also suggests that music education helps boost confidence and emotional development.
By engaging both hemispheres of the brain, Music FunTime fosters well-rounded growth in social interaction, creativity, and physical coordination.

Music FunTime classes include:
- Musical Crafts: Fun, hands-on projects that teach music theory in a creative way.
- Music Theory: Age-appropriate lessons using worksheets and activities to introduce rhythm, pitch, notation, and other musical concepts.
- Instrument Exploration: Each child receives a set of rhythm instruments to use both in class and at home, with exposure to various instruments such as piano, guitar, violin, bells, and more.
- Performance Opportunities: Students can showcase their progress in regular recitals and Open Mic events, building confidence and pride in their musical achievements.
