How we make music…
At EAST, music is active, collaborative, and creative.
Children are invited to:
Move, drum, sing, listen, and create
Build strong rhythm and coordination
Experiment with their own musical ideas
Develop ensemble and listening skills
Make music collaboratively
Grow in confidence without pressure for perfection
Some children love performing. Others find their place through rhythm, songwriting, instruments, or simply being part of the group.
There is room for all of it here.
From Tenn Little Birds to EAST
EAST grew from the creative community families already know through Tenn Little Birds.
As children grow, their music-making can grow with them too.
Rhythm Kids and Songmakers give older children new ways to explore rhythm, drumming, songwriting, collaboration, and musical independence while staying connected to a community that values creativity, confidence, and belonging.
New to EAST? You are just as welcome here. No previous Tenn Little Birds experience is required.
How we teach theater
Language around process over perfection, multiple ways to participate, ensemble-building, character work, movement, storytelling, and giving actors ownership of the creative process.
