Riverside Music Together is a center in Wichita, Kansas that offers family music classes. We are an accredited provider of Music Together^®—an internationally recognized music education program for children from birth through age 5 and the grownups who love them!

When your family joins our community, you and your child will be immersed in a world of participatory music-making, where the combination of singing, movement, and instrumental play is facilitated by a certified music teacher trained in early childhood music education and licensed to teach the Music Together curriculum. The songs and other high-quality music materials we use, crafted through 25 years of research into how children’s music awareness develops, are included in the cost for families to take home.

At Riverside Music Together, you’ll nurture your child’s music potential in the important early years while supporting their overall development, and you’ll have fun together doing something we all enjoy—making music!  

Garten’s Music is a family-owned retail store  that opened in 1969, now featuring keyboard instruments, guitars, ukuleles, music books and more! Band instruments are also available for rental or purchase. In addition, the Wichita Music Academy offers lessons for children and adults in piano, guitar, bass, ukulele, voice, violin, viola, cello, brass, woodwinds, and drums and percussion. All of our instructors must pass four background checks, and all of them have university training and/or professional performance experience. We believe that learning to make music should be fun and that students should learn the music they want to play! Our students earn trophies, wristbands and certificates for achieving musical milestones.

Everything we do, from HappyFeet classes and birthday parties to Legends skill sessions and games, is designed to teach and encourage our players to take a risk, try a new skill—and when they do, we celebrate it as if that risk or attempted skill was in fact winning the game! It is our mission to build into our coaches, parents, and players the understanding that the process—practicing, attempting new skills, developing mental and physical coordination—is the win, not simply the means to a win.

So try one of our HappyFeet or Legends programs. Don’t come expecting white painted lines or even players standing in lines. Come expecting organized chaos on the field where your child will have a blast while getting hundreds of touches on a soccer ball. Expect a coach that knows how to teach and encourage your child to take a risk and try a new move or shot. And remember when your little soccer star takes that risk—that’s your cue to throw your hands in the air and celebrate like crazy!
