Birthday Parties

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!

The Music School of Delaware’s Wilmington Branch is the ideal place to host your child’s next birthday celebration. We know that each year is a milestone for your young child. You want to enjoy that moment and not be overwhelmed with decisions concerning how to celebrate. Whether you would like a princess party, a superhero party or a music party of your own design, we will work with you to figure out theme ideas, supplies and entertainment so that your child will have a birthday to remember!

Early Childhood birthday parties are appropriate for children ages 1 to 7. We host birthday parties on weekdays (during business hours) and Saturdays (12:00-4:00 p.m.). Regular parties are 90 minutes which includes one hour of music and one-half hour for food and gifts. You provide refreshments, utensils, decorations, etc. The Music School provides the party room, one hour of music class with instruments and props, tables/chairs, streamers, tablecloths and cleanup. Deluxe parties have an additional half-hour for craft or party time for a total of two hours. Children ages 1 to 3 must be with parents at all times. Please book at least two weeks in advance of the party. Birthday parties are only available at the Wilmington Branch at this time.
