Learning Allegro, created by Wendy Provencher, Chesco Mom of 3, opened its doors this fall to offer infant and toddler music classes to the Chester Springs, Lionville, Exton, Downingtown area and beyond.

At Learning Allegro three types of classes are offered:

Precious Preludes: is for babies 6 months to 2 years. This class will introduce babies to the world of music through classic children’s songs, rhymes and finger plays.

Creative Crescendos: is for toddlers 2-4 years old. The class gets a little more advanced by teaching beginning music theory concepts through all of our favorite musical games and songs.

Tutti Time: is for the whole family. If you have children of different ages, this is the class for you. Activities for every age to keep everyone involved and learning.

Since opening the new location in Chester Springs the class schedule has tripled in size and that means more new and exciting programs. The Spring classes start the week of March 1st and registrations are being accepted now. Summer will bring all your favorite songs and games to the music circles but delivered in shorter sessions. Click here to view the summer program schedule. Workshop Tuesdays are also being introduced for 3-6 year olds and Violin Mini Camp for budding violinists.

Music lessons are a great way to enhance technique and supplement school music programs. Start lessons now to prepare for the spring recital. Learning Allegro is currently accepting students for private music lessons. Click here for more information.
