About Smart Start
AN ENGAGING, NEUROSCIENCE-BASED, EARLY CHILDHOOD
MUSIC EDUCATION CURRICULUM
Smart Start is an Early Childhood Music Education (ECME) curriculum designed to awaken a
curiosity for music in children, ages 0-6. This group curriculum was developed by The Royal
Conservatory (RCM), in collaboration with neuroscientists, and RCM’s most accomplished
music educators. This umbrella of experts combines 60 years of thought leadership in music
education, with science-backed research to deliver the rich, developmental benefits, to all
children, in their earliest possible stages of learning.
With each child’s developmental stage in mind, the Smart Start curriculum consists of 30-
weekly classes, varying in length by age group, delivered by a specially trained music teacher.
Lessons are filled with fun and engaging activities that guide the child through foundational
music principles fostering cognitive development. Smart Start empowers every child and their
family to experience the wonder of learning music, while benefiting from the advantages of
early cognitive education.

Every child should have access to high-quality music education, from the earliest age possible.
The RCM’s extensive work with neuroscientists has shown that music training, in the stages of
early childhood, is linked to an improvement in cognitive function. Using this insight, the Smart
Start program was created to nurture the core developmental traits of reading, memory, and IQ
through music education. Thus, making music the cornerstone for continued lifelong
achievement
