First Steps in Music TM

First Steps in Music developed by Dr. John Feierabend provides activities for children as birth through 5 years old but appropriate for any aged child that needs to further develop their tuneful, beatful, and artful abilities. Folk songs and rhymes as well as classical music are the primary source materials that are used to develop their musical minds and abilities.

Dr. Feierabend’s “30 Year Plan” encourages families to be active in providing children with structured musical training in order for all students to be tuneful, beatful and artful adults. The goal of the “30 Year Plan” is for everyone to be able to sing in tune and have an understanding and appreciation of music. “Dad should be able to sing ‘Happy Birthday’ to his son or daughter without hearing, ‘Don’t sing, Dad.’” - John Feierabend, Ph.D
