Spring 2024

Triangle collection

Spring registration is open for returning families!

New family registration begins March 11

 

We're thrilled to start our spring session soon!

 

We'll be using the Triangle Collection, which features American folk songs, original songs, and music from all over the world. We'll sing about what we see outside with "Ladybug" and "Two Little Blackbirds," move around the room with "Drummers Marching" and "Skip to my Lou," and visit Lebanon with "Ala Dal'ona", Cuba with "Ma Teodora" and the Torres Strait Islands with "Taba Naba."

 

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 10 week session is $210 for one child and $135 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 spring with music, fun and friendship!
