You will always get what you paid for.

Our flexible attendance policy allows you to use your own discretion when the weather is bad in your area.  The ability to come to any class and come more than once a week means that you never have to travel when the weather is dicey.

Halloween Costumes This Week

The costumes on Monday and Tuesday have been nothing short of adorable.

I can't wait to see the Wednesday and Thursday kiddos.

If you are willing to share your pictures from this week's Kindermusik classes please send them to me, or tag me in your Facebook Album.  Also, please let me know if you DON'T want me to post them.

Learning through Music

Can your child name that tune in four notes or less? If it is "Wishy Washy Wee," he probably hears only the first chord before shouting "Weeeee!" while throwing his hands in the air. To name that song, he is hearing and distinguishing a series of discrete musical notes or tones.


Scientists now know that our brain processes music similar to how we process language. To become successful readers, young children need to understand that words-like music-are made up of discrete sounds. Later they use that knowledge of sounds to read and build words. Research shows that children with these skills are more successful learning to read than others.


Kindermusik provides many opportunities for your child to discriminate similarities and differences in sound. So, while your child gains musical skills in class, he also makes gains in his phonological awareness and reading development. Now that is music to any parent's ears. "Weee!"


Everyday connection: Play name that tune. How quickly can your child name a familiar song? Is that the good-bye song or the hello song? Are you going to "Clapping Land" or for a trip on "Lukey's Boat"? It's a fun game to play in the car, too!

Use Facebook to Check in and Save!

NO CLASSES OCT 17 & 18

Bizzy is my 8 yr old, and she actually does look a little like this picture.  Well, if you consider the hand on the throat she looks a lot like this picture because for 2 years she has lived with a nearly constant sore throat and stuffy sinuses. Her ENT has decided it is time to bid a fond farewell to her tonsils and adnoids. Biz is thrilled, she's been cruising the freezer section at the grocery store making lists (I'm not kidding)!!!!!!!!!!!

Her surgery has been scheduled for OCT 17 so classes for the 17th and 18th are cancelled and have been rescheduled to DECEMBER 19 & 20.  The 21 & 22 are being used as  flood makeup so it rounds out that week nicely.

The scrolling calendar has been updated and the printable calendar will be updated by Monday Oct 3.

Thank you for your compassion and understanding.
