"Moses has been singing the pony song ALL the time. He loves it. He sings, "...all tired downnnnn, all tired downnn." and sinks to the floor. Jacob has to let him know that it's actually all tired *out*. It's awesome!

I also want to thank you for introducing our family to music in this way. It has given me the courage to sing to my children without judgement. You have no idea what a wonderful gift that is (well...maybe you do.)"

"Thank you - it's been a wonderful experience both for me and my granddaughter. It's a special time of the week for me."

Music is love in search of a word.

Erin wants to listen to "her music" ALL the time! She does the finger movements to "Jack in the Box" and asks for specific songs. She never said "Hello" before, but the other day she said that as a request to hear "Hello Everybody." She also sings the tonal patterns (with her own little twist, of course!) and I catch her singing to herself on a regular basis. She had not done either of those things until this last week. I am sure that it is partially just due to the fact that she is getting older, but just the few times we have been to Music Together^® have also been monumental for her! She is loving every minute of it and branching out so much because we have been attending. We love it!

"I enjoy the rhythm of the class - a great mix of slow and fast tempos, and sitting and standing/dancing. I truly like the openness of class that allows each child to express himself and participate in various ways and at various levels.

We have so enjoyed your magic! Thank you for presenting this!"

The only thing better than singing is more singing.

"We love the class! I've always been shy about participating in groups or singing out loud anywhere since I became an adult. I grew up playing piano and singing in church choir, so it's been nice to come back to music in such a warm environment. I've definitely gained as much as my daughter from your classes - thanks!

As I was reflecting on the fact that our family is now just one semester shy of having experienced all nine of the Music Together collections, something occured to me.  For me, one of the greatest gifts of Music Together has been learning so many new (to me) traditional children's or folk songs from other countries and cultures, especially the lullabies.  I've absolutely loved expanding my repetoire of songs to sing to/with my children, and the fact that the girls are absorbing and learning these same songs.  It almost makes me cry to think that the "new songs" are about to come to an end for us.

We don't consider ourselves musicians.  We are only human beings trying to realize the humanity inside of us with music.  - Franck Pillonetto, musician, instrument maker, and member of musical ensemble Les Phones

"My child repeats classroom activities at home all the time! She even role plays the class with her dolls. I can't wait to see what you come up with next!"

Ben has grown so much with music - he sings and plays music all day long! It has given him a new way to express himself. He has asked for music as gifts!

You are the music while the music lasts. - T. S. Eliot

You are an excellent teacher. You put so much of yourself and your enthusiasm into it. You've helped me learn about Norah musically, and you've provided me with great ways I can implement more music into our lives.

"You do a fantastic job! You keep the flow going from one activity to another, and the myriad of different activities holds the interest of a dozen kids for three-quarters of an hour.

We love this class! We have a great time learning, getting exercise, interacting, singing, dancing, smiling, laughing, and making music! We look forward to it every week!!"

We're fools whether we dance or not, so we might as well dance.

While walking through the park, my daughter picked up some sticks and started rubbing them together in a rhythm, just like we had done with the rhythm sticks in class the day before! She plays music and dances around the house all the time.

All music is folk music. I ain't never heard a horse sing a song.

Ian loves coming to music. He talks about you often and asks to listen to the
music everyday. Thanks for a wonderful experience!

What if the Hokey Pokey is what it's all about?!
