Fall is right around the corner, and class is about to begin. And I don’t just mean for kids going back to school; all kinds of learning sessions for even the littlest ones are starting with the new season.
One of those is Music with Maddy, a Music Together® program that takes place in Falls Church. In case you’re not familiar with Music Together®, it’s a community of families sharing songs, instrument play, rhythm chants, and movement and dance activities in a relaxed, playful, non-performance oriented setting.
I did Music Together® classes with Owen and Sasha when they were younger, and both loved the weekly 45-minute sessions of singing, dancing, and spirited interaction with other kids. And, truth be told, I found it pretty fun myself. Besides the simple joy of seeing my babes have a good time, it was kind of cool to get kid-silly in public without a shred of self-consciousness (okay, maybe a small shred, but if you heard me sing, you’d understand).
Miss Maddy’s 10-Week Music Together Fall Semester starts the week of September 16. All classes will be held at the Falls Church Community Center, and several days and times are available, so check the schedule to see which might work for you.
And to get readers excited about her classes, Maddy is hosting a giveaway of a Music Fun Pack that includes a Music Together CD, egg maracas, and a tambourine. For a chance to win it, simply enter below. Good luck!
