Dalcroze Music and Movement:
Join Emma Shubin for a joyful and engaging journey into music through movement in this dynamic, whole-body class! Rooted in the Dalcroze Eurhythmics approach, students develop their musicianship by exploring core musical concepts—rhythm, phrasing, pitch, dynamics, and form—through creative movement, interactive games, improvisation, and playful expression.
These classes nurture musical understanding from the inside out, helping children embody music and develop a deep, physical connection to sound. Through imaginative activities and active play, students build coordination, listening skills, spatial awareness, and expressive confidence—skills they can bring to their instruments, ensembles, and the performances stage. No prior musical experience is needed—just curiosity and a willingness to move, explore, and have fun!

Open to children ages 4 and up, with students grouped by age and level to support social-emotional development and age-appropriate learning.

Outdoor Adventures in the Mountains!
Is your child a mover and a shaker, an explorer of the world? In this new CSI offering, students will experience the outdoors and learn about nature through song, music, movement, and art activities. Young adventurers will engage with the natural world through a range of hands-on experiences, fostering curiosity, creativity, and connection.

Join us for this new offering led by Emma Shubin, made possible in partnership with Integral Steps, a Colorado-based nonprofit dedicated to integrative music, movement, and arts education.

Musicians as Athletes:

This class will explore how the foundations of movement and a “training” mindset help support relaxed, natural playing on any instrument. Activities will explore whole-body coordination, gentle use of joints, gravity, and breath, reinforcing ease, flexibility, and control. This early exposure to biomechanics supports injury prevention, and helps students develop efficient mental and physical practice routines for ease of playing and faster progression!

Open to students ages 8 and up – classes divided by age.

Family Orchestra:

This class is designed for Suzuki students, but also for adults, parents and “advanced” siblings to attend as well. So many of our Suzuki families have multiple generations that play and we wanted to try an ensemble class that could include everyone. This is a fun and laid back opportunity for you as an adult to have a musical experience of your own while at institute OR to create memories playing in class with your child!

All ages – Violin, Viola, Cello – Suzuki Late Book 3 and up

Suzuki students and all others participating must be comfortable with sight reading at a Late Book 3 level.

NOTE: Adults can attend for FREE and join in the class with their registered child. Siblings register separately for this class through the sibling enrichment form in May/June.

Explore the Orchestra:
Designed for students curious about other instruments and siblings who are not yet playing but are interested in starting, this class will explore the character, sounds, and functions of different orchestral instruments. We will visit institute classes to see and hear instruments up close, explore repertoire and pieces that feature each new “guest” instrument, and deepen our experience through movement and listening.

Join us for this new offering led by Emma Shubin, made possible in partnership with Integral Steps, a Colorado-based nonprofit dedicated to integrative music, movement, and arts education.

Open to children 3-7 – For siblings of current Suzuki students and those curious to explore new instruments. A parent must be present in the class at all times, as the class will move to different locations while visiting institute classes.

Music Together:
Music Together nurtures each child’s natural musicality in a playful, musically rich learning environment. Our research-based music classes are designed to be non-formal and non-performance oriented, so your child can learn at his or her own pace, in a way that’s developmentally appropriate. We know that children learn differently than adults. They learn instinctively and constantly, and teach themselves through imitation and play, through being immersed in their environment, and through interaction with adults and older children. The family-like setting of Music Together classes creates an ideal learning environment. And it’s all based on research in early childhood and music development.

Open to students ages 4 years old and UNDER. Each student in the class must have a parent or caregiver attend class and participate with them each day.
