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
