Give students an engaging way to explore rhythm, sound, performance, and self-expression after school with Lola & Kids’ afterschool music program. We manage programs for schools throughout New York, combining engaging music enrichment with the operational support needed to deliver successful programming.
Through singing, instruments, rhythm, movement, and exposure to musical traditions from around the world, students can discover music in an interactive, welcoming environment. For schools, bringing these experiences to students doesn’t have to mean adding more administrative work.
Our team helps manage staffing, scheduling, programming, and day-to-day details so school leaders can focus on their students.
A successful music enrichment program requires thorough planning by well-trained professionals. Lola & Kids works directly with schools to make afterschool programming easier to implement and manage. We provide experienced instructors, structured programming, and operational support so your school can expand its enrichment offerings without coordinating every detail internally.
Our approach includes:
Whether you’re adding music to an existing enrichment schedule or building a broader afterschool program, our team can serve as your afterschool music program partner and develop an approach that fits your school community.
Our afterschool enrichment music program combines hands-on learning with opportunities for students to create, collaborate, and perform. Programming may vary by school, age group, semester, and instructor availability.
For students interested in the stage, our theater programming uses acting games, improvisation, movement, character development, and collaborative storytelling to strengthen communication and performance skills.
Students explore basic chords, rhythm patterns, melodies, and simple songs through hands-on guitar instruction. Collaborative activities help students develop foundational musical skills while building confidence and an appreciation for making music with others.
An energetic combination of singing, percussion, rhythm games, and movement introduces students to different musical traditions while strengthening listening skills, confidence, and creative expression.
After-school music enrichment gives students a creative space to develop skills that reach beyond learning notes and rhythms.
