Vocal Play Lab For Kids

Vocal Play Lab For Kids is a fun and interactive singing experience for kids ages 7-11.

Together, we explore our voices through playful improvisation, games and creative exercises, building confidence and joy in every session.

This class isn’t about reading music or preparing for a performance - it’s about discovering the unique sound o fyour own voice in a space where there are no wrong notes.

Through rhythm, call and response, circle singing and sound play, kids develop musical awareness, teamwork and expressive freedom.

Both connection and confidence will be fostered through guided vocal games and layered harmonies. We’ll play with our voices and tune into ourselves and each other. It’s a joyful, low-pressure lab where imagination leads and everyone belongs.

Vocal Play Lab Young Learner Programs

Because every child is already a composer.

At Vocal Play Lab, we believe music should feel like play. Our kids classes are joyful, interactive and full of imagination - designed to nurture creativity, confidence and connection from the inside out.

We don't just teach songs, we invite children to create their own. Whether we're exploring instruments, echoing silly sounds, or composing group rhythms, every child is encouraged to experiment and express themselves freely.

Why It Matters

These classes help children build confidence in their creativity, boosts their listening and collaboration skills, fosters emotional expression through music and provides a lifelong love of sound and self-expression.

Our Teaching Philosophy with Young Learners

At Vocal Play Lab, we don't believe in perfect notes - we believe in bold ones. We know that young children learn best to play, movement and wonder. That's why we meet them where they are: on the floor, in the circle, with hands clapping and voices ringing. Our classes are rooted in the idea that every child is musical. We simply create the space for that music to unfold. There's no pressure to perform, no judgment, no “ right way” to sing - just an invitation to explore sound, rhythm and expression in a way that feels joyful and safe.

We encourage risk-taking, celebrate mistakes and delight in the little sparks that happen when a child finds their own voice. because when a child feels heard they shine.
