Music & Movement Classes for Kids
Music isn't just entertainment; it's a science-backed way to build your child's brain and deepen our bond. From lullabies to movement games, here is how we use rhythm to grow together.
"Down by the Station" is a classic song for toddlers and preschoolers. The rhythm and repetition are great for language development and it's so much fun to sing together.
The fastest way to get your child away from a screen? A fun dance party! I share some of our favorite high-energy YouTube dance songs like "The Floor is Lava" and "Shake Your Sillies Out."
Singing in Hindi is a wonderful way to connect with our culture. Here is a fun song, "Gadi Aayi," that you can sing with your children.
This "Hands on my Head" song is a playful way to teach children body parts. I share some funny names we use, like "main thinker" for the head and "bread basket" for the tummy.
Try this catchy continent song with your children today! "Africa is hot, Antarctica is cold..." It's a simple and memorable way to introduce them to the seven continents.
"A Little Caterpillar" is a beautiful song that teaches the life cycle of a butterfly. The gentle melody and story of metamorphosis make it a favorite in our home.
Singing and dancing to "Let's Go Driving in the Car" with my daughter. Music and movement are a daily part of our lives and a key way we connect.
About this collection
When we sing the 'Opposites Song' in class, we aren't just memorizing words. We are using full-body movement—stretching high for 'tall' and curling up for 'short'—to hardwire these concepts into a child's vestibular sense. It’s a game that makes learning rhythm, vocabulary, and body awareness feel like play, not a lesson.
Why Music Matters
Music is a developmental powerhouse. Science shows that babies begin processing rhythm in the womb as early as 16 weeks, and the window for musical sensitivity peaks between birth and 7 years. When I sing with my own children, Aish and Nemy, it isn't just about passing time. It’s about regulating their nervous system, boosting language development, and increasing our attachment security.
My Approach
I don’t just play songs; I use a research-based Music Together framework. Whether we are using the 'Down by the Station' song to learn rhythm or practicing a shloka to connect with culture, every choice is intentional. My in-person classes in Bangalore are designed to be a safe, communal space where we don't just watch—we participate.
In-Person Classes in Bangalore
I host these premium sessions in Sadashivnagar, JP Nagar, and St. Marks Road. To keep the experience intimate and effective, batches are strictly capped at 12 families. We have a 'No Nannies' policy because these 45-60 minutes are specifically for the parent-child bond. You will walk away with an award-winning songbook, digital access to the music, and a toolkit to keep the rhythm going at home.
Making Music at Home
If you can’t make it to a class, you can still bring this science home. Start small. Use lullabies to regulate sleep routines, or use movement games like 'The Floor is Lava' to get your toddler away from screens. Music is a gateway to empathy and cognitive growth—let’s make it a daily rhythm in your home.
