Become a Music for Life Instructor
Share the Joy of Music and Movement with All Ages — From Babies to Seniors!
Music and movement classes are about creating a safe, joyful, and engaging space — and you can be the one to make it happen!
You don’t need to read music, sing in tune, or dance perfectly to lead a Music for Life class. All you need is energy, compassion, and a desire to make a difference in the lives of children, parents, and seniors alike. Music for Life programs — Toddlers Tango, Babies Boogie, and Seniors Samba — are about building connection and joy through music and movement, encouraging people of all ages to move, engage, and have fun.
Why Become a Music for Life Instructor?
Music for Life is a unique, proven program created by Tamar Frieden, a dance therapist with a passion for using music to enhance cognitive, emotional, and social well-being. Music has the power to engage people of all ages — from babies discovering rhythm for the first time to seniors reconnecting with memories through familiar songs.
Whether you’re working with young children or seniors, the benefits of music and movement are undeniable:
- Stimulates memory and cognitive function
- Improves motor skills and coordination
- Builds confidence and social connection
- Encourages emotional expression and reduces feelings of isolation
- Promotes physical activity and body awareness
