317 Main Community Music Center

Our Little Roots classes at 317 Main are designed to plant the seeds for a lifelong love of music for children and their families. Repertoire is engaging for both parents and children as they sing, play, and move together. Repetition is built into the classes giving everyone the opportunity to grow their musical skills. We believe that developing the ability to expressively sing, keep a steady beat, and move to music will strengthen human connections in families and in our community. Little Roots Infants & Babies (0 - 12 months with caregiver) infants earn songs and rhymes that help you bond and have fun with your young child through music. Little Roots Family (1-5 year olds with caregiver) children dvelop the love of music together through song and movement. Learn songs and rhymes along with your child that you can incorporate into your daily routines. Little Roots Ready Set Grow (Pre- K ages 4-5) children will develop their singing voices, move to music, play rhythm instruments, learn singing games, and develop a love of music while also becoming independent. Little Roots Explorer classes (K & 1st Grade) allow students to get hands-on experience playing fiddle, piano, and ukulele. Students will also sing, play singing games, and have movement activities during these classes. Our Little Roots Explorer series is a great way to prepare for the Discovery classes, as students engage with different instruments including the ukulele, fiddle, and piano.

Fiddle, ukulele, piano, and voice are a great way for young students to get started with instrumental and vocal instruction. In our Discovery classes, we incorporate and build on the foundation of our Little Roots classes. These group classes are designed for beginners who are ready to focus on a specific musical discipline.

Teens are encouraged to join one of our many ensembles as they can offer rich social connections and a chance to stretch out and explore group dynamics. We also offer teen-only ensembles in our Flight 317 and Flight Training ensembles.
