Received this feedback from a parent last week and have heard the same sentiment from other families about our first outdoor session. We've loved teaching outdoors, seeing all our families again and look forward to continuing to make music in the great outdoors all winter long!

"May, may all, may all children, May all people, everywhere, live in peace." Remembering the men and women who have fought for peace and those who continue to serve our country. 🌺

A grandmother who attends classes shared this lovely statement with us this session. She continues to say, "My granddaughter and I in particular love this music class time together and with you" referring to our Director, Sasha! We love being part of your family's music journey.

If you haven't yet, take our brief survey and let us know the class format you'd like to see for our upcoming winter session. A very big thanks to everyone who already provided input! forms.gle/28Eu7qMpwzHhHG…

Your child is born with a natural musical aptitude, which our program can help support right from infancy! Music and your child are perfect partners with music aiding in their social, emotional, language and musical (of course) development! #MusicMoment

Hello, Halloween! Whatever your plans are this evening, we wish you lots of safe, family fun. #HappyHalloween

You don't need anything special to create a musical home. Just your voice and your body and a focus on having fun! Remember, if you model a love of singing, dancing and playing with music, it will help your child to develop a love for music too!

Hello, fall families! Kids, parents and friends are warmly invited to wear your Halloween costumes to class next week! Looking forward to seeing everyone 👻

It's true! Children learn best though play, which is why everything we do in class is engaging and fun! Not only does it help to reduce stress, but helps to develop physical, social, literacy and cognitive skills. Play is amazing!

Hello Thanksgiving! We're thankful for so much this year including the ongoing support of our families and friends. Wishing you all a wonderful holiday filled with joy, food and music!

From a man walking his dog past our Rhythm Kids class! Did you know that kids learn best when they're having fun? That's why we intentionally plan our classes to have bits that are silly, tender and lots of fun from. We just love that others watching us can see the joy too!

Meet Katie, who will be teaching our Babies and Mixed Ages classes this fall! Katie has a BEd with teaching experience in preschool, elementary, special needs, plus time as an outdoor camp leader! Join Katie Tuesdays, Wednesday & Fridays this fall for outdoor classes in Guelph!

We're ready for fall! Songbooks for our Bongos Collection have arrived and we're prepping some new visuals to help with our outdoor learning format. We're excited to be heading back to in-person classes and we know you are too; a few of our classes have already filled up!

"The social aspect of music is important -- if a baby sees their mother singing, they know she's engaging with that song, that she's enjoying it, and they know it must be important." The key to baby's music education is parent participation! Great read - sciencedaily.com/releases/2020/…

Missing your family's trip to a theme park or fair this summer? Great post from Canada's Wonderland on how to bring the thrills home. ow.ly/268U50ATOyM
