Fall 2024

Fiddle collection

Fall registration is coming!

 

We're thrilled to start our fall session in September!

 

This fall we’ll learn lots of songs and activities using the Fiddle collection. During the chant “Sounds of Fall” your child will be mesmerized as the class expresses the sound and movement of leaves falling and birds chirping and flying. We'll celebrate food with "Apples and Cherries," the bluesy "No More Pie," and the swinging "Sweet Potato," and dance to "Los Fandangos" and the graceful "Lauren's Waltz" - and much, much more!
 
Registration is open for our currently enrolled families. New family registration will begin August 12.

 

In addition to the classes, your tuition includes a beautifully illustrated songbook, CD and digital music downloads, a family newsletter with more at-home music making ideas, online access to the songs through the Music Together app, and tons of great music and content in our Family Music Zone.

 

As always, grownups are indispensable to our musical time together; our emphasis is on the caregiver-to-child relationship. Small children are not expected to focus; rather, they are encouraged to respond spontaneously to the musical environment. We use singing, movement, rhythmic chants, instrument play, and lots of other ways to express ourselves musically during class. Children are welcome to move around the room, sit and watch, or dance while we're sitting. As long as their grownups are engaged in making music, the children are learning by their role model that music-making is a fun and valuable family activity.

 

The cost for the ten week session is $225 for one child and $100 for additional siblings. Siblings one year and younger attend for free. New families please add a one-time new family registration fee of $10. Community center pricing may be different.

 

Join us and fill your family's fall with music, fun and friendship!
