Little Groove at Lyrik

Little Groove music classes are designed to help infants, toddlers and preschoolers learn and interact through sound, sight, and touch in a live music setting. Children enjoy being a part of the musical experience, using their bodies and voices to sing along to energetic songs that help them build important motor and social skills. They will also have fun using real instruments such as drums, shakers, and tambourines. See class info <a href="https://lyrikbackbay.com/happening/">here</a>!
