Musicologie Junior®
A musical adventure for young children and their grown-ups
Toddler Music Classes in Lindon, Utah
Musicologie Junior is a musical adventure for young children and their parents, guardians or caretakers. At each class, we’ll sing songs, move our bodies, dance to different styles of music, read sing-along books, and play lots of musical instruments while your child reinforces her naturally-developing senses of rhythm, melody, rhyme, speech, and movement! We’ll incorporate methods from Kodaly, Dalcroze, and Orff. Ages 0-5.
How Our Music Classes for Young Children Work
At Musicologie we know that music lessons are one of the most impactful investments you can make in your child. Learning music improves coordination, language, reading and math skills. It nurtures our emotional and cognitive health. Studying music literally makes our brains bigger. We designed Musicologie Junior to be a fun and easy way for your little one to interact with others and meet new friends in a stimulating educational environment.

What is Musicologie Junior like?
In our classes, everyone participates, from the youngest babies to the “most mature” caregivers–and they all do so in their own way! Some kids might feel shy and start by just observing. Some students are curious, busy, and LOUD! It’s all a part of learning, and it’s all good!
Each class follows a set format with multiple sections, exploring different elements of music making. We repeat certain portions each week to build familiarity and confidence. Some elements are new each time to encourage exploration. Kids of all ages and abilities will learn and grow through joyful music play!
Preparation for Private Lessons and Beyond
Many people think music ability is something you're either born with or you're not. That's not true! You have to develop talent. You have to learn rhythm. The way to achieve that is to start music exploration early. Kids can learn to be talented musicians, just like they learn to walk and talk.
Of course not everyone is going to be a famous musician, just like not everyone is a great speaker or runner. But we all learn to talk and to run. In the same way, we are all musicians. We just have to tap into it.
Our class does that through an experience and play-based curriculum that introduces kids to a variety of fundamental music concepts and ideas. We touch on solfege, scale patterns, improvisation, movement and rhythm patterns, and even basic note reading. We also reinforce preschool concepts like animals and sounds, body parts, colors, counting, opposites, following directions and sharing.
Is Musicologie Junior Different From Other Early Childhood Music Programs?
Yes, our experience for young children is different in a few key ways. First, it's mixed age. Bringing a sixteen month old together with a three year old in the same class benefits both kids. The younger one gets to see good behavior modeled in someone other than an adult, and the older child learns how to nurture, share and participate in educating the others. Other programs don't do this, not because it's not the ideal learning experience, but because it's a challenge to develop the curriculum and teacher training. Musicologie Junior was developed with this multi-age experience in mind with curriculum and teachers to match.
Second, it's hands on with real instruments. Each week has a different musical theme with an instrument to match. Kids get to see and touch and hear these instruments, and participate as they are able. We encourage a sense of exploration and fun with exposure to lots of instruments and music from many cultures and genres.

Our 3 grandchildren are enjoying their experience at musicology. Drums, piano, and Jr music class. Sam, Haylee, and Kiersten are all amazing. They make it fun and have lots of patience. Also Julie is so fun and always welcomes the kids which helps set a happy mood right as we walk in the door. We all look forward to the classes each week and we see progress for each of the children which is very exciting.

Katherine has been awesome. Our little girl has been loving her vocal lessons and looks forward to them every Monday. It's awesome to see how excited she is for this new experience. The studio is very clean and up to date. They also teach a lot of different types of instruments which is pretty cool & may have to look into that for myself at some point.

We are loving our experience at Musicologie! It’s such a welcoming environment, and I love how organized, efficient and flexible their system is. I would highly recommend their voice teacher, Katherine Underwood.

We LOVE Musicologie!! Both of my girls are taking lessons, one flute and one voice. Both teachers, Ryan and Madison, have been excellent at helping each of them feel comfortable and excited about what they are learning. In addition, as a parent, I love the structure of the program and the ease of communication with teachers. I know each week what they’ve worked on in their lesson and the expectations of what they are to practice. And Julie, the office manager, is excellent. She is personable, knowledgeable, and will bend over backwards to help. We’re also excited to access the additional community events they are offering, and all for free. Can’t recommend enough!!!

My wife is a voice teacher and chose musicologie to send our daughter to to receive voice lessons, what does that tell you?! They’re an incredible company with wonderful people running it. My daughter has loved her voice lessons and my second child is thriving learning the flute. They make it so fun with the treasure bucket and reward systems for practicing that my kids actually enjoy doing it. I would highly recommend them.

We have had such a wonderful experience with Musicologie! My daughter has been taking bass guitar lessons here for about a year, and she also joined the rock band program about five months ago. She has already had three really fun performances, and it has been so sweet to watch her confidence grow. Today she did an evaluation for voice lessons with Lexi and absolutely loved it. She told me she loves the way it feels to sing, which honestly made my heart so happy. I love that Musicologie has helped her find something she truly enjoys and can lose herself in. The teachers and programs have been encouraging, fun, and such a positive outlet for her. We are so thankful for the experience and would definitely recommend Musicologie to other families!

We had such an incredible experience at my daughter‘s first piano lesson. We were warmly greeted by the owner upon arrival and walked through how everything works. Her teacher, Miss Naomi, was so patient and very informative. I was nervous about taking a five year-old (typical age related attention span & listening skills concerns), but they were so patient and well-versed in how to meet her where she was at. They took a very personalized approach to observing her and what would work to pique her interest. We are excited to get signed up for lessons!

Musicologie Prosper is really a great music school for any kid who would like to start their music journey. Mr. Javier is my son's violin teacher. He is very patient and encouraging. My son loves to attend class. School recently arranged spring concert, I must say it was very systematic and kids performed very well. Thank you and keep growing.

We take the our 2 year old to the Musicologie Jr. class with Ms. Naomi and it’s our favorite part of the week. It is well structured and so fun. Ms. Naomi does a wonderful job of engaging everyone and making sure the children are having fun while building foundational music skill at age appropriate levels. Our 2 year old gets excited the second we pull in the parking lot and leaves singing the songs from class. We also love the flexibility of rescheduling as she is medically complex so we often miss classes but still feel we get our money’s worth with that flexibility and our daughter doesn’t miss out on an activity she loves. That flexibility is somewhat rare in children’s activities. All of that combined make us very happy customers and we look forward to staying that way!

Our Philosophy Of Education
We are driven by a set of unifying principles that guide every lesson, every class, and every interaction.
We Start Early
Research shows the earlier you start, the more lifetime benefits you receive from studying music.
We Teach Life Skills
Music is awesome! It teaches so many things: emotional intelligence, discipline, self-awareness, motor skills, dexterity and more.
We Teach the Process of Learning
We focus on the process rather than the product, facilitating discovery rather than dictating information. We teach how to learn, not just what to learn.
Our Responsibility
We know a student's success is our responsibility. It's our job to make lessons engaging, fun, and easy to be excited about.
We Believe in Immersion + Exploration
All our lessons and classes are experiential and immersive, fun and exciting!
We Assume Good Intentions
We grow the trust, mutual respect and confidence of our students by assuming good intentions from everyone.
We Encourage Mistakes
Making mistakes is what learning is. You try something, make mistakes, and try again. We encourage mistakes so our students are excited to take risks and try new things.

Frequently Asked Questions
We want you to have total confidence that Musicologie Lindon is the right place for you or your child to start, or continue your musical journey. So we've collected the most frequently asked questions about our music lessons, our programs, and what it's like learning music at Musicologie.
What is the Musicologie Method™?
The Musicologie Method is at the core of every lesson and class we teach. It’s rooted in two things: a safe environment, and student-centered learning. Research tells us these two elements are key components of the way everyone learns, from kids through adults.
In music lessons, a Safe Environment means a place where you feel free to be who you are, encouraged to play the music you enjoy, and excited to try new things.
Student-Centered Learning means harnessing trust, collaboration, and exploration to give students the agency and the inspiration to achieve their goals and to make the learning process engaging and fun.
What ages does Musicologie teach?
We teach all ages. Many of our students are between the ages of 5 and 12, but we teach toddlers and we teach many adults, too! Our toddler music class is called Musicologie Junior and starts at 6 months. Private lessons start at 5. We also have a rock band class called Rockstars where students ages 7+ learn to be rock stars and play at local venues!
We also have member workshops, open mics, and concerts for all our students, including adults! At Musicologie Lindon, not only can you learn an instrument from an amazing, friendly, certified teacher, but you can meet other musicians and join a community of music explorers!
How do I sign up for lessons?
Get started here by answering a few questions. We'll match you with a teacher and find a time that works for ongoing lessons. The first lesson is called an assessment lesson.
What's a lesson membership?
A lesson membership is how you sign up for your weekly lesson or class at Musicologie. Your membership fee is billed monthly. The price depends on which lessons or classes you're enrolled in.
Can I do lessons every other week?
Sure, we offer drop-in lessons for students who can't commit to a weekly lesson.
What if I start in the middle of the month?
You will be charged a prorated amount for the remaining days in the month and then you’ll go into our automated system and be billed on the 1st of each month for the upcoming month.
How do I withdraw from lessons?
To withdraw from lessons, you must give 30 days advance notice by filling out our online exit form. This is the only way to withdraw. Contact us for the exit form.
What curriculum does Musicologie use?
We know that you'll stay more engaged by learning music you love and you'll grow faster by using what you've learned in your lessons in performances. We'll take our own Musicologie Method, along with traditional method books like Suzuki, Alfred's, Faber, etc., and combine that with contemporary music you're excited about with the goal of performing in one of our ensembles, group classes, or at one of our concerts.
Do I need my own instrument?
Not for your first lesson. We have instruments at our studios you can use for the first few lessons. But after that you'll want to get your own instrument for practice at home. Your teacher will help you pick out the right one. We also have open practice hours so you can come in and use instruments and practice rooms at Musicologie during the week.
If you do have your own instrument, you should definitely bring it with you, as long as it's easily portable - leave your piano and drums at home
What's an Assessment lesson?
An assessment lesson is what we call your first lesson. Don't worry, it's not a test! You'll come in, meet your teacher, talk about your goals, go through our policies and develop an individual curriculum. Every student does it regardless of age or ability. For very young students, an assessment is also a chance to see if they're ready for private lessons.
What are Musicologie's prices?
Each of our studios may have different prices, so get started here to learn more!
Can I reschedule a lesson if I can't come?
Of course! Here's how it works:
Log into your account at Musicologie.com
Find the lesson you want to change and select 'cancel' or 'reschedule' at least 24 hours before the lesson. Musicologie Junior and Accelerated Labs can be canceled or rescheduled up to 30 minutes before the class.
The canceled lesson will remain in your account to reschedule at any point in the future.
If you withdraw from lessons, you can no longer reschedule any lessons you cancelled.
If you re-enroll, any previously cancelled lessons will still be available in your account.
How do I pay for lessons?
When you sign up for lessons, your credit card or debit card will be automatically debited a flat fee each month on the 1st of the month. To withdraw, you need to provide us with 30-days notice by filling out a withdrawal form. Contact your teacher for the form.
Does Musicologie offer refunds?
Musicologie cannot offer refunds for any missed or unused lessons.
