Introductory Classes


So here we go! I'm starting out my teaching classes this November in my home town of St. Pierre with an introductory 4 week class called Music & Me- Around the Farm. This class is designed for the preschooler aged 2-4 and was originally created to be used in daycares & preschools. It has recently been adapted to be incorporated into the studio class as well.
This program is wonderful as an introductory course in that it is short, (only 4 weeks) and is an affordable way to expose your child and yourself to the benefits of Kindermusik without committing to a full semester. Each class is filled with fun songs, rhymes, story time, dances & games all expertly designed to stimulate each child's complete development while having loads of fun in the process. With the class you would also receive a free instrument with an activity book to take all that classroom fun back home with you.
If you'd like contact me or are interested in signing up for this introductory class, please follow the link below.

Quality Time with Your Kids Made Easy


Working full-time with opposing shifts to my husband's, commuting long distances, taking care of the house and getting all the shopping done is pretty daunting in itself. The worst part about it all was that I constantly felt guilty that I wasn't spending enough quality time with my son. I'd be so exhausted from the day that my mind would be mush and I couldn't muster the energy to really do anything imaginative and fun with Max. I'm a fairly creative person and it was killing me that I couldn't think of anything to stimulate my son's development and growth. Even basic nursery rhymes I was drawing a blank.
Kindermusik changed all that for me. When I started to research the program about a year ago, I was continuously impressed with the broad scope of materials and activities that are presented in each curriculum without it becoming overwhelming for the children and their parents. When I decided to become an instructor myself, my little Max was my guinea pig;) I was astonished at how quickly he latched on to the songs and exercises. Especially seeing as he never really showed an interest in music before. He was always too busy running around making engine noises to really pay attention to music. In just a few short weeks, he went from running around with a near zero attention span to attentively listening and participating in the songs and activities. It was amazing.
It's been a delight because it's just sooo easy. The curriculum is pure fun and filled with creative ways and suggestions for parents to interact with their children that they maybe hadn't thought of before. There's a whole host of songs, rhymes, stories and learning exercises that make quality time with your child simple and meaningful.
