Free Trial Classes for City Stomp Music in Brooklyn

FREE TRIAL CLASSES BEGIN SEPT. 7 FOR CITY STOMP FAMILY MUSIC CLASSES

Caribbean beats, Jewish folk songs and melodies about dinosaurs, subways and buses make up the fall session play list of City Stomp, an early childhood music program in downtown Brooklyn that focuses on making music that families enjoy as much as the children do.

Free trial classes run September 7 to 13 at City Stomp's three locations in Park Slope and Boerum Hill and are available via reservation (see schedule below).

Called an "awesome interactive music class for young NYC kids," by MommyPoppins, City Stomp fall classes are held every day of the week on a weekly basis (not every day at every location) and begin September 24 (see schedule below). 

Nominated as one of the city's top music programs by Nick Jr. and GoCityKids, the City Stomp program was developed by classically trained musician and Brooklyn father of three Kevin MacCallum, a former director of Music Together.

Musical themes vary by session, and are designed to celebrate the city's cultural diversity as well as the landmarks, sights and sounds that are familiar to its young audience.  Accompanied by their own guitar, drums or keyboard, instructors -- all professional musicians -- lead a lively class that integrates melodies, harmonies and rhythms designed to build a strong musical foundation and advance future learning.  Children, sing, dance and play instruments (shakers, drums, triangles, sticks) in a spirited session that guides children toward achieving basic musical skills.

A 10-week session is $215 (sibling discount available) and includes the professionally produced City Stomp CD.  Trial classes are free with advance registration and are available as follows:
