LEARNING TO PLAY YOUR FIRST INSTRUMENT SHOULD TOTALLY ROCK.
But sometimes it's hard to know what instrument to start your child on. Not to mention that, personally, you're not ready to commit to the whole nag-your-child to practice routine.
It's exactly for these reasons that we created Bigger Beats.
WHAT EXACTLY IS BIGGER BEATS?
Bigger Beats is a one-of-a-kind beginner music class that helps 5 - 7 year olds discover the instrument that's right for them without you having to invest a lot of time, money or energy into nagging them about an instrument they don't like.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
You get to choose-your-own-adventure. Your child can learn one instrument during one, 10-week session. Or they can try three different instruments (piano, drums, ukulele) over the course of a year by registering for three different Bigger Beats sessions.
BIGGER BEATS OVERVIEW
BIGGER BEATS CLASS OPTIONS
BIGGER BEATS VOCALS
- Who doesn't love to sing? Your child doesn't have to have perfect pitch or even be able to sing on pitch to join this class. Bigger Beats Vocals will allow your child to experience the awesome joy of singing while encouraging them to grow in areas related to articulation, projection, pitch and memorization.
- Available in-person.
BIGGER BEATS PIANO
- Piano is the first instrument many kids learn and for good reason: it rocks! Your child will learn the musical alphabet, the names of the piano keys and how to play some basic, rock classics. (The Beatles, anyone?) A big part of learning music is having fun and rocking out. So we're going to do a lot of that too!
- Available in-person.
BIGGER BEATS DRUMS
- Four on the floor. A basic rock beat. Hitting the crash just for the heck of it. What's not to love about playing the drums? Your child will learn the different parts of the kit, how to count and play lots of cool rhythms. They'll also learn the importance of tempo and dynamics. This class is where the beat goes to have fun!
- Available in-person.
BIGGER BEATS UKULELE
- This is the Bigger Beats class to take if your child is interested in learning guitar. We use ukuleles as in introduction to guitar because ukuleles are smaller and easier for young kids to physically handle. Your child will learn the basics needed to play ukulele as well as proper techniques that will translate over to guitar.
- Available in-person.

BIGGER BEATS Q & A
Yes.
Each Bigger Beats class is jam-packed full of cool things for your child to learn. This means that your child can register for the same Bigger Beats class twice and still get a lot out of it.
For example, your child could register for Bigger Beats - Piano twice in a row and take away new things from each session.
In this case, private music lessons are a great next step for them.
Private music lessons are available for drums, ukulele, piano and voice. (We don't recommend kids start learning guitar until they're seven years old.)
If your child switches to private music lessons now, they can still get in on the fun of playing music with other kids by joining Junior Rock Band.
Junior Rock Band starts at age eight and after a year or two of private lessons, your child will be ready to join the fun!
Not at this time.
Due to the popularity of our Bigger Beats program, we stagger registration for each session (Fall, Winter and Spring).
The good news is that if your child is currently enrolled in a Bigger Beats class, you will be given first access to register for an upcoming session once registration opens.
We understand that life happens and sometimes you need to make a change.
We always encourage families to complete their current Bigger Beats session, but after each session, you have the opportunity to decide what comes next in Your Backbeat Journey.
If you are registering for one Bigger Beats session, you will be sent an invoice with a secure online payment option to pay your child's registration fee.
If you are registering for the full year, we will ask you to enter your credit card information via a secure online portal and then your card will be automatically charged $199 at the start of each session.
