A quick glimpse of the joy, movement, and connection that make Bach & Boogie special.

Simple, Musical, Predictable

Every 45-minute class follows the same musical arc — so toddlers feel safe exploring, parents can relax, and the whole room stays connected.

Allegro

Happy, fun music to start moving!

Largo

Calm, relaxing music for listening or cuddling.

Vivace

Fast, exciting music for jumping and playing!

Boogie!

Fun dancing music to end with joy.

Why classical + real music?

Beautiful melodies help little brains grow focus and calm — without overstimulation. We mix great composers with folk and timeless songs so grown-ups and seniors love it too.

Classical music for kids is known to boost focus, memory, and joy, and intergenerational music programs are flourishing worldwide — from residences in Canada to community music projects in the UK. Bach & Boogie is proud to bring that magic to your neighborhood every week.

Why Families Love It

Real music, a predictable flow, and an intergenerational spark you won’t find elsewhere.

Real music you enjoy too

From Bach to The Beatles — beautiful, recognizable songs you’re happy to hear on repeat.

Predictable, kid-friendly flow

Toddlers thrive on rhythm. Our 45-minute arc helps them settle, join in, and know what’s coming next.

Intergenerational magic

Kids share shakers and smiles with residents — seniors light up, and everyone leaves happier.
