Introducing the Kidznotes Saturday Academy

Saturdays are for:
✔ Cereal
✔ Cartoons
✔ Music class

There’s a new way for your child to spend their Saturday morning. Our Saturday Academy program offers small group instrument lessons while building their confidence and social skills.

The Kidznotes Saturday Academy is an extension of our Mozart Program for 1st and 2nd graders. During each 10-week session, students can take up to two music classes on Saturday mornings. But music isn’t the only thing we’ll be working on — each course blends music instruction with social-emotional learning (SEL) and executive function skill-building.

All classes take place in a group setting with no more than 20 students for most classes. At the end of each session, students will perform and celebrate their progress with friends and family.

  • Open to children ages 6 to 8

  • Maximum class size of 20 students

  • Option to rent instruments is available

Registration from the Saturday Academy supports Kidznotes’ tuition-free programming, creating equitable access for students from all socioeconomic backgrounds. Learn more about our mission.
