The NEWS is out! The Fly DID Marry The Bumble Bee!!

Hello Friends! Happy wonderful sunny warm spring!!! Here's a video clip of my friend's Kindermusik class in Manistee MI:Kindermusik with Melinda Lise. I know you will enjoy watching and listening to the familiar songs. And also that you will enjoy knowing that fun like this is NEWSWORTHY!!!

Finding Order in Chaos....

Patterns, patterns everywhere......

The human mind searches for pattern. Patterns help us frame and share our understanding of the world. We see, hear, and feel patterns in the rhythms and routines of our daily lives. Patterns are anything with a unit - a shape, design rhythm, or motif - that repeats in a predictable and organized manner. (from the Brooklyn Children's Museum website.

We search for auditory patterns too. Can you figure out the pattern for "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star"?

Here's a fun
Kaleidoscope pattern drawing game.

Your child's school readiness program:

Kindermusik offers children many ways to work on school readiness skills. Today we did this little poem:

Tall as a tree.
Wide as a house.
Thin as a pin and
Small as a mouse.

Our fun movements are experiential and hook the movement, words and concepts together to result in LEARNING!! We are also working on the right side of the brain with words that trigger a child to think in pictures and understand the concepts and the greater understanding of metaphors! In our society where much of "education" proper is linear we are bridging a gap that may give them the creative edge in the job market!!! Hey, I'm always thinking ahead.

Here's a TV spot with my friend Melinda (up in Michigan) and her Kindermusik studio. (click the TV)

Do tell your friends...let's include them in on the fun. Invite them to come visit your Kindermusik class this week.
Have fun being tall as a tree!

Tu ra lu ra lu! Pat a pat a pan!

Here's some pictures of the fun at the Children's Health and Harmony Expo...go check out the Asheville Citizen Times Photo gallery:
I spy with my little eye a flute and drum (well actually that's my piccolo!) We were jammin'!

Yes, things were jammin' in the Asheville Arts Center corner! The stage was alive with Irish Dancers, Sleeping Beauty Ballerinas, Seussical Musical Theater, and rockin' Rock U. One mom said to me "You mean after Kindermusik they can take all those classes!?" Yes, begin at the beginning with the tiny newborns developing a sense of beat, nurturing curiosity for pitch and melody, keep the music ball rolling with the offerings at the Asheville Arts Center.

Come on over and see!
