Welcome to Beginnings, Iowa Youth Chorus' early childhood music program for ages birth through 9.

Parents, registration is now open for spring 2012. View the Spring brochure. Spring classes begin January 23. If you don't find a class that fits your schedule, CALL US, and we will schedule a class for you and your group if space and teacher availability allow. (Class minimums are 4 children for classes under 60 minutes and 5 children for classes 60 minutes or longer.)

Parents, did you know that you may attend a class free of charge? Please call (515) 262-8312 for the current schedule and to register.

Beginnings now offers the complete sequence of Musikgarten classes. Musikgarten's programs awaken and develop your child's inborn joy and talent for music making. Each level of Musikgarten, from the infant program to the introductory keyboard stands on its own and fits the developmental needs of the child. Class time is educational, fun and purposeful - a rarity in today's world which often confuses entertainment with education.


Beginnings offers the opportunity to gain a lifetime of benefits and enjoyment for the whole family.

Come for the fun! Stay for the education and see why Beginnings has no equal!

Beginnings demo classes are held at the start of each new semester. See the pictures and story from the Des Moines Register taken at one of our demo classes.
