So today is Saturday, not Wednesday with Wendy, and I realize the Summer was a blink! I have not written in this Blog for the whole session. What have I been up to? I returned to teaching after 5 plus years of not being able to do so, due to a car accident and balance issues. I have spent the last 5 years rewiring my brain and guess what, I have been able to lead 20 min classes via Zoom 3 times a week and it has been a joy! So...although I always understood that we we do in our classes musically supports all learning, and that a variety of sensory stimuli is essential to help those neurological connections happen in your babies through 5 year old brains, so that the information may travel, I had the opportunity to experience that growth again in terms of balance, movement, and vision all over again. It is true, synapses that fire together-wire together. We build them stronger and stronger with repetition. It must be at the natural development of your child. Meet your child where they are. Be patient, trust, and celebrate every move. Every child is a miracle and I thank you for letting us share in this time of extraordinary growth! This Fall starts our 18th year of bringing Music Together® to families throughout Queens, NY and I feel as blessed and excited about this new year as the first, perhaps even more for all we have been through together.
With indoor, outdoor, and online class options we will all be able to make Music Together however we feel most comfortable. Proof of Vaccinations for all who are old enough to get it - will be required for all classes and masks for everyone above two yrs of age. You may bring your own instruments to class, or purchase our gently used instruments to keep. I have so many high quality instruments that have been safe in trunks for well over a year, that they should be used and loved!
Change is a given, and so is the miracle of a child and their ability to be music makers! Let's celebrate them in all we do with them and for them! Thank you.-Wendy
