For Babies Philadelphia’s favorite early childhood music classes boost brain functioning, motor skills and language development, while positive social-emotional dynamics and shared experience are the focus. With a huge variety of popular music, babies and caregivers are all active participants in the Mister John’s Music experience. Through music, rhythm and movement, infants and toddlers learn about self-expression, teamwork, sharing, and empathy. With regular features such as drag queen story time and interactive music videos, this is not your typical children’s programming. Each class is jam-packed with surprises for both adults and children, with underlying messages promoting creativity, inclusivity, and kindness, all delivered through a celebration of music. For Kids Mister John’s Music’s kids’ instrument classes are designed to make learning a musical instrument fun. From guitar to piano, your child learns in a supportive group environment with qualified, dedicated instructors. And they get to choose the music that they want to play. Using a combination of performance skills, music theory, and composing exercises, classes at the studio boosts your child’s confidence to perform in front of a group and participate in a team. After all, a band is a team! For Adults If you've always wanted to learn how to play the guitar/piano/ukulele/drums but didn’t know where to start, look no further than Mr. John’s adult group classes – supportive and low-pressure environments where you can build your musical skills and get comfortable performing for and playing with others. Classes are designed for people who want to make music as a hobby, rather than a profession, and want to have fun doing it.
