Sing Peace Around the World

My 5 year old daughter has been singing a beautiful song about peace that she learned at school (Lakeland Montessori).  From the teacher’s weekly email, I followed a link to find all the words, and found a lot more than that.  This song travelled the world in 24 hours – on the International Day of [...]

Follow me to Kindermusik

I LOVE watching happy children enjoying the act of making music with others -  in this video, as well as in my Kindermusik classes each week.   And your heart will truly melt when YOU see YOUR child so happy to learn and explore, and show you what NEW things they can do, or songs they can sing.   Your [...]

Kooky Cartoons teach Healthy Habits

Learning good habits to stay healthy, and to keep others healthy is important, but does NOT come naturally – they must be taught.  Different children learn different ways, and some enjoy learning through cartoons.  Watching is only the beginning of the learning process though.  After you watch one of these videos with your children, go right [...]

Fathers find music great for child bonding

It is absolutely awesome when fathers are able to come with their children and participate in the music activities at Kindermusik.  Each time, the child is SOOO proud to have their dad by their side, playing, sharing, and singing.  I LOVE to hear those male voices in my classes, and to watch these heartfelt interactions, [...]

Family Adventures In the Back Yard

Creatures in My Back Yard
This program is offered so families can participate together, whether there is one or several children (mostly ages 1 - 5 yrs.).  It is a fabulous excursion into the dirt, grass, and air of a child’s back yard, and all the gooey worms,  elusive butterflies, creepy bugs,  beautiful birds, and, of course, pets.  See my QUESTION OF [...]

Kids LOVE animals. Share the LOVE and the learning.

To celebrate our love of animals, I am including THREE cool videos.  FIRST, our animal friends help me wish you Happy Valentine’s Day.  THEN,  a lot more variety of animals (more than I knew) help us learn the alphabet (even X).  Be ready to let your children watch these videos repeatedly.  At  the end, there is another cool animal song/video by Eric Herman that [...]

Recent experiences have created sort of a LIFE SHIFT for me.  I know most people re-evaluate at the beginning of each year, set new goals.  I was just too overwhelmed during the last few months. (Thus the lack of blog postings – sorry!)  It has led me to be guided a little differently. 
Instead of writing a [...]
