Number of years you’ve taught Kindermusik:
8 years
Describe yourself in five words or less:
Wife, mother, friend and teacher
Favorite Kindermusik song:
Butterfly Wings
Favorite Kindermusik activity, and why:
There are so many favorites, but nothing brings me more joy than a roomful of babies and their caregivers dancing to Hop Up my Baby! The smiles and laughter are infectious!!
A proud moment in a Kindermusik classroom:
One day, I greeted my Our Time class as they entered the classroom. One by one everyone entered the classroom, and I realized I had an overfilled day with my full class of enrolled families, plus preview families and families making up classes. I welcomed the challenge and during quiet time, I looked around, and every single child was cuddled up with their parent or caregiver, and all were singing together. It was magical.
Something your Kindermusik children or families have taught you (could be inspirational, humorous, practical, etc.):
That each week is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you are going to get. I love it, and it keeps me on my toes at ALL times!
Something funny a child has said or done in your classroom:
“Miss Holly, can you come live with us?”
The reason you teach:
The question should be why I teach KINDERMUSIK. It is the most fulfilling work I’ve ever done. I love connecting with the children, but also with the parents, and sharing my passion for music. My motto is “Connecting Families through the Magic of Music”, and that’s what I get to do. It’s such a wonderful combination that makes it right for me.
Hi,
Our daughter, who has autism LOVES your connect through music dvd!
I would like to know if you have any other recordings that are similar. Or know
of any that might be similar.She likes the Lynn Kleiner dvds too.
She is currently in a private music therapy program. And your video gave
her as much joy as the therapist.
