Music Lessons for All Abilities

  • Encourages each child to discover their own “Musical Self.”

This is not music therapy, but this method is designed to help every student succeed in learning music.

Mark’s Musical Journey

See Musicreative™ In Action

Musicreative™ program is available for all learners with all abilities

When Mark joined Hug Music at age four, he had a short attention span, difficulty following instructions, and challenges with fine motor skills, but he loved music.

Over 18 months, Mark’s growth went far beyond music:

Today, Mark plays with joy, pride, and independence.. His journey shows what’s possible when instruction meets the child’s needs and music becomes a pathway to personal growth.

A joyful, multi-sensory approach for ages 3.5–6 that blends sound, movement, visuals, and touch so music is not just learned — it’s lived.

  • Whole-Child Focus:
    Developing musical, emotional, cognitive, and social skills.

  • Joy & Expression:
    Music as a way to connect, express, and feel.

  • Structure for Success:
    Predictable, engaging lessons that build confidence.

  • Multi-Sensory Learning:
    Visual, auditory, and kinesthetic experiences tailored to each child’s strengths.

Available in SOLO (one-on-one) or DUO (semi-private) formats.

Every session follows a familiar routine, from our Hello Song to instrument exploration, rhythm games, solfege singing, and our Goodbye Song, creating a safe space where children can grow musically and personally.

“Hug Music makes my shy little boy so much more outgoing and happier! He gives me big smiles whenever I sing the Hug Melody songs at home. We are all so happy with the classes.”
