Keep the instruments!? Yes please!! Families have the option to purchase materials kits (valued at $30 each) containing durable, age-appropriate instruments and props in a handy bag to keep and bring to each class!
This is a hands-on entertaining half-hour of LIVE music activities for pre-school aged children, held after work in a climate-controlled, spacious, and carpeted room within Kirtland Community Center. Music activities will bring us together as a shared experience in-person, with playfulness and flexibility for each child to participate at their comfort level! This group is led by a board-certified music therapist to facilitate musical peer to peer interactions for the children and adults; foster a welcoming group for creating new in-person connections as families; and provide ideas and examples of musical activities to continue at home with the option of purchasing a materials kit to keep! No prior music experience is necessary. Instruments and props will be provided for use at each class, and it is an option to purchase a kit of these items ($30) to keep and use in all the classes you attend. The materials kit includes at least 5 instruments and props total in a handy bag. Classes are limited to 10 families. ‘Family’ unit = 1 adult caregiver with up to 3 children. Online registration allows you to reserve you place throughout a full session (5, 6, or 4-week class series), or individual specific class dates that your family will attend, and accepts Apple/Google Pay and credit card payments.

Family Yoga Classes
Family Yoga Classes are taught by Kate Martin, Certified Children’s Yoga Instructor of Little Frogs and Downward Dogs Yoga. These classes will introduce the benefits of yoga in a family style/mommy & me class format with a fair amount of movement for the children (baby-wearing is a good option for infants). We will learn a breathing technique, practice age appropriate meditation skills, engage in a mindfulness activity and learn a few asanas (yoga movement postures) in a fun way! Overall, classes will be comprised of movement; song & dance; age appropriate mindfulness activities; an introduction to the benefits of meditation and breathing exercises; AND tons of fun!!
