Your teeny-tiny bopper loves a family jam session, but her pitch is not so perfect.
Help her get to the heart of the lyric at Sessions Songwriting and Music, where founder Lauren Bruns has fine-tuned a curriculum that teaches kids to express themselves through words and music.
With the opening of her state-of-the-art studio, she’s adding group classes like Parent and Me (for the under 3s), Intro to Songwriting (ages 6-13), and Recording on GarageBand (ages 8 and up) into the mix. For kids who want one-on-one instruction, private sessions are still available in songwriting, guitar, piano, and voice.
We can’t wait to host a pop star birthday party, where guests form a band and record a custom ditty for the kiddo of honor at the in-house recording booth.
Should be music to everyone’s ears.
Sessions Songwriting and Music, 1739 Berkeley Street, between Pennsylvania and Nebraska Avenues, suite 101, Santa Monica (310-828-8909 or sessionssongwriting.com).
