BEGINNER PROGRAMS
Field Trips Each year, many Lower Mainland preschools and daycares bring their children to Carillon for a fun and interesting demonstration class. The 45-minute class consists of singing, stories, movement and the use of rhythm instruments. It is a great outing for the children, which often leads to an interest in music lessons.
