Story Telling in Music
11:30-12:00pm, 6/7/2026
Lexington, MA
AllStars Learning for Special Needs is honored to welcome Storytelling in Music: Harp & Storytime to Lexington for a special experience where children can listen to stories, enjoy beautiful music, and embark on a unique artistic journey through the gentle and healing sounds of the harp.
The harp is often called the "Princess of the Orchestra"—elegant, graceful, and majestic, yet often perceived as distant from everyday life.
Storytelling in Music seeks to bring the harp closer to everyone. Through music, storytelling, and shared experiences, we hope to introduce more children and families to its warm, soothing, and inspiring sound. Through stories and music, we aim to nurture children's imagination, empathy, and a lifelong appreciation for the arts.
At Storytelling in Music, we believe that:
Music is more than a combination of melody and technique.
It is a language for telling stories, expressing emotions, and understanding the world.
Led by music educators and early childhood educators, and supported by a team of passionate young musicians and storytellers, we blend music and narrative to create a shared space where imagination and self-expression can naturally flourish and connect.
Through music and storytelling, we create meaningful moments together—building connections through emotion, resonance, and understanding.
