We are also opening up our center to Marcia Winnard and the Music Together Programs. Her classes will be held in the wellness studio on Friday mornings:

MUSIC TOGETHER: Mixed-age Classes :: This is the essential Music Together class, one that a child can attend from birth through age 4 through all nine song collections. This basic class follows the recommendations of child development researchers—grouping children of a variety of ages because this fosters natural, family-style learning. Younger children enjoy watching and imitating older ones; older children learn by leading younger ones; and adults are happy because the children in the family can go to class together. Each child participates at his or her own level in singing, moving, chanting, listening, watching, or exploring musical instruments. Any caregivers—parents, grandparents, nanny—can bring the children. The whole family is welcome for this important family music experience. $197 for 10 weeks (includes song book, cd and instrument). For more information or to register, please contact Marcia Winnard: marciasong@bellsouth.net 
Fridays 10:00 :: 1.29 - 4.2.10
