Children's Crescendo, live
Live Kids Music Events in Santa Monica
One Saturday morning a month, songs, shakers & sunshine.
Looking for things to do with kids in Santa Monica? Once a month we pack up the ukulele, the glockenspiel and a big bag of shakers and play live music for kids at The Early Years School on Montana Ave. You bring the little ones, we bring the songs.
We start soft with Little Bells, a baby music morning for ages 0 to 2 (napping through it is a valid choice). Then Little Beats turns it into a toddler music class with a lot more stomping, for ages 3 to 6. Come to one or stay for both.
It’s an easy family weekend activity on a Saturday morning, all done before nap time. Grandma is very welcome.

What to expect
Join us for some special family time at one of our Santa Monica neighborhood get togethers. Come hear all your favorite songs live and play along with the fun.
We start soft with Little Bells for the minis, who may or may not be sleeping through it all, which is a valid choice. Then we move over to Little Beats and make sure we get all of our shakes in. Bring a blanket, a friend and whatever makes noise in your house, even if it’s grandma (especially if it’s grandma!)
You get:
- About 75 minutes of live music
- Instruments to add your own flair
- Little beads of sweat from all the dancing. Phew!
