SUMMARY:Music Together: Holiday Mini Session (11:30am)
DESCRIPTION:Music is fundamental to the human experience and there are a variety of studies which indicate that music can enhance our health. So Healthy New Albany loves including “Music Together®” as part of our community programs\, as it provides another opportunity to cultivate and inspire healthy living in our community. \nThese weekly\, 45-minute mixed-age family classes include songs\, rhythmic chants\, movement\, instrument play\, and of course lots of fun! These activities are presented as informal\, non-performance-oriented musical experiences- developmentally appropriate for children and easy for parents and caregivers\, regardless of their own musical ability. \nEach week\, a trained Music Together teacher leads the class in singing\, dancing\, and playing songs that range from tender lullabies to boisterous jams using child-friendly percussion instruments. Our award-winning music\, illustrated songbook\, and other print and online resources will help you continue the music-making fun at home and nurture your child’s musical growth—even if you don’t think of yourself as a great singer or dancer. Like parenting\, making music requires no previous experience or expertise\, just a willingness to get down on the floor and get silly with your child! \nIncluded in registration: a CD\, an MP3 downloadable version of the song collection\, a Songbook\, a new family music development booklet\, a Music Together growth chart\, access to the Music Together Family Music Zone\, and the free Hello Everybody app! \nAges:\n• Infant – 5-years-old (accompanied by an adult) \nLocation:\n• Philip Heit Center (150 W. Main St. New Albany\, OH)\n• Conference Room on the first floor \nSchedule:\n• Tuesdays | 11:30 am – 12:15 pm\n• Dec. 2 – Dec. 16 (3-week series) \nRegistration Info:\n• $80 for initial child\n• $30 for additional child\n(registration fee includes all supplies) \nAbout the Instructor:\nNicole White comes from a long line of teachers that not only value education but believe ALL children can learn. She has a B.S. in elementary education and a M.Ed. in Reading education. Nicole holds special certifications in reading and working with dyslexic students and has worked with students from preschool through the university setting. She enjoys combining her love of music with her passion for education to create an inviting musical learning environment for your family! \nAs a stay at home mama Nicole has experienced first-hand the joy and delight that Music Together® offers by taking her own children. After her first free demo in a baby store she quickly obtained her Music Together training\, became a registered teacher and had her family participating in class. She found it such a support for when she decided to stay home with her first child. Quitting a full time job to stay home can be an isolating decision and she needed a connection. As Nicole went to class every week she knew she was providing her child with a quality class and would get to connect with other parents. Sometimes just having a conversation with another adult was so encouraging. \nClasses are such an inspiring place for families to interact. Nicole counts it a blessing every semester that she teaches that families allow her to be a part of the memories they make with each other! \nTo learn more about Nicole and the Wholey Sisters Music Together group\, check out their website: wholeysisters.com. \nREGISTER NOW
