Grand Opening!

There is limited space, so register today!

Toddler and Parent Class: These classes encourage the caregiver and child to interact through musical activities that relate to things in their own life! You will learn catchy songs and rhymes that you will use throughout your day. It is a fun class full of surprises (singing and vocal development, movement, listening, playing simple instruments that you can find around your house, story time and exploratory time), and an important class that stimulates brain development and creative play.

Preschooler and Early Grade Classes: These classes include singing instruction, pitch practice, learning many fun songs on the theme, movement experiences, craft, basic instrument introduction, and socialization all customized to the general developmental level. Your children will come home singing the songs they learn and will grow in vocal confidence. The same songs along the session theme are taught in each age group, but tailored to the age group.

“Singing causes physical and emotional changes in the body. When we sing, we release endorphins, the ‘feel good’ biochemicals. Another hormone released when we sing is oxytocin which generates feelings of intimacy and connection and lessens feelings of loneliness. Singing has also been shown to boost immune systems and reduce stress levels.

“Singing increases our intake of oxygen, build stronger lungs and helps promote better enunciation, builds vocabulary and strengthens confidence.

“Singing helps creativity soar.

“Singing is a wonderful expression of feelings, especially joy.

“Singing helps learning and memory. Repetition and singing something helps your brain retain it.

“Singing is something that doesn’t have to be done alone. Learning to work together in a group or choir can give children a sense of collectiveness and can help children make friends.

“When a parents sings to a child or a child sings to someone else, it encourages eye contact, communication and a bond.

“It is fun, it is free and can be done by anyone. Even if they don’t sing well , the benefits are the same.”

– Karen Harris
