Preschool Music, Art & Movement
WHERE MUSIC, ART AND WONDER COME TOGETHER
Founded in 2026 in Dallas, Texas by Audrey Schott and Brandye James, Music & Masterpieces is a premier early childhood enrichment program for kids ages 18 months to four years, that brings together the transformative power of music, visual art, and movement in one thoughtfully designed experience.
As the founders of their own companies, Backyard Music Classes and Imaginarium, Audrey and Brandye envisioned a program where both disciplines worked together—creating a rich and meaningful learning experience for children and their caregivers.
Together, they developed Music & Masterpieces: a thoughtfully sequenced, 35-week curriculum that blends visual art, music, movement, and creative exploration into one joyful experience.
WHAT WE BELIEVE
Before children can read, they communicate through movement. Before they can write, they express themselves through color, rhythm, texture, and song.
When we nurture those natural forms of expression, we are doing more than teaching art or music—we are helping children become curious thinkers, confident communicators, compassionate collaborators, and joyful learners.
At Music & Masterpieces, our goal is to help every child discover the confidence to create.
Why the Arts Matter In Early Childhood
The first five years of life are among the most important for brain development. During this remarkable season of growth, children learn through exploration, movement, play, and meaningful relationships.
- Fine motor development
- Creativity and problem-solving
- Social-emotional confidence
- School readiness and executive functioning
- Language and early literacy skills
- Memory and pattern recognition
- Self-expression and communication
- Curiosity and a lifelong love of learning
