This will be an outdoor class for babies and their grown-ups. In case of rain, we will arrange a make-up class.
Need something for the whole family? Mixed Age classes are designed for little ones at different developmental levels to make music together. Families build connection, grownups learn ideas for music exploration and play at home, and there’s room for everyone to grow.
Sometimes, the best learning happens when we’re all together. Mixed age classes allow families with siblings, neighbor groups of varying age levels, and anyone who’s drawn to the time slot to attend. Educators accommodate powerful and enjoyable music and movement activities for all stages of development, so that everyone is comfortable, engaged, and learning!
At the tender age of 3, my heart was captured by the timeless melodies of Elvis Presley, igniting a lifelong love affair with music! It seeped down deep into my bones and made me move! From that moment on, music became my passion, my comfort, and my motivation. I began piano lessons at a young age, sang in choirs, participated in highschool musicals, experimented with clarinet and saxophone, took vocal lessons and competed in the local Kiwanis Music Festivals. I worked for a number of summers in a residential facility for the mentally and physically handicapped, in the Drop-in Centre which was all about music, arts, and crafts. I graduated post-secondary school as a Registered Nurse, and I was known on my unit of the hospital as The Singing Nurse. I worked on the side with a child with autism, as I myself had a sister with severe autism, and I have a special love for kids with special needs. As the years passed by, I started my own family, and my children are now 19, 16, and 13 years old. As a couple of them had special needs, I gave up my career to raise and educate them at home, with our music program being my favourite subject to teach. Through the years I have also taught the children's bible lessons at church, and I was a magician working gigs at school, Brownies & Sprite gatherings, a senior's home, and many private birthday parties. When I discovered Kindermusik, I wished I had found it years earlier for my own children, and I love having the opportunity to be part of an award-winning music curriculum that meets children at their own level, and helps them learn through music, movement, and bonding. My favourite part of being a Kindermusik Educator, is watching the children -- who may be timid at first, blossom before my eyes. I may be leading out, but I am blessed to have a front row seat to helping little ones find their passion in music, and facilitating this special time between parent and child.
