The Little Mozarts program was developed in-house and has been taught, refined, and thoughtfully expanded for over 15 years. Throughout this time, the curriculum has continually evolved to reflect growing research and understanding of how children learn - particularly the deep and meaningful connection between music, language, and social development.

Instrument Carousel Class
This class follows Little Mozarts within the Music Matters! Symphony and is recommended for Ages 4-7 years. Instrument Carousel was adapted from German early childhood music curriculum and is designed to offer keen insight into the child’s natural interest. Once children have completed the first 8 weeks of this course, they can go into an intensive class with their instrument of choice for another 8 week session.

Judy Hubbell, Instrument Carousel
Music has been a major part of Judy’s life since childhood. She grew up in a musical family and was inspired by her family’s country band. Judy began playing guitar at an early age and has always had a love and an ear for music, eagerly exploring any instrument she could get her hands on—from her grandmother’s organ to guitar, violin, trumpet, baritone horn, and more.
Judy spent eight years marching and performing baritone with a drum and bugle corps throughout the United States and Canada. She continued her musical studies in college and have spent more than 20 years sharing her passion for music through children’s ministries, directing chime choirs and handbell ensembles, and teaching various instruments to students of all ages.
Most recently, Judy co-founded a beginner student orchestra at Sandpoint Junior Academy, where she currently teaches. Helping students develop their musical abilities, build confidence, and discover the joy of making music together is very rewarding for Judy and is one way she carries on her family’s musical tradition.
