Early music education changes everything

The Childhood Music Program (CMP) is Anait's signature early education offering. Developed over years of teaching young children, it draws on current neuroscience research showing that musical training in early childhood strengthens language acquisition, pattern recognition, coordination, and emotional regulation.

Classes run in small groups of 5 to 6 children, creating a social, playful, and structured environment where every child feels safe to explore sound, rhythm, and movement. Each level consists of 12 classes of 60 minutes, held at regular intervals.

Graduates of the CMP are exceptionally well-prepared to begin private piano, violin, voice, drum, or dance instruction.

What the Program Develops

Four areas of growth

Musical Skills

Pitch matching, rhythm, notation, melody, and musical form are introduced progressively across all four levels.

Cognitive Development

Music training in early childhood strengthens pattern recognition, language acquisition, memory, and mathematical thinking.

Social Skills

Small group classes build listening, turn-taking, cooperation, and the experience of creating music together.

Physical Coordination

Movement, clapping, and rhythmic activities develop fine and gross motor coordination alongside musical awareness.

Performances

Winter and Summer Recitals

Each semester closes with a student recital. Children perform for family and fellow students, building confidence and the experience of sharing music with an audience. These are joyful, low-pressure events that mark each child's growth.

What Comes Next

From CMP to private lessons

Graduates of all four CMP levels are exceptionally prepared to begin private instruction in any of the following disciplines.

Piano

CMP graduates enter piano study already reading notation, understanding rhythm, and comfortable at the keyboard.

Violin

Ear training and pitch matching in CMP gives violin beginners a significant head start in intonation.

Voice

A full program of singing games and vocal exploration makes the transition to formal vocal study natural.

Drums

Deep rhythmic training in CMP builds the foundation every percussionist needs before they pick up a stick.
