Anyone want to do an evening Music Together class?
We signed Cam up for Music Together this session. Apparently, things have changed a bit since Maya took it and there's only one evening class offered and they don't have enough signed up to run it.
We can't do a morning class because of work and I would like to avoid Saturday mornings. Those are our only options if the class doesn't have more enrolled.
So, I'm here recruiting people to sign up with us 
. It's on Tuesday nights at 5:45 in WDM. Classes start January 17th. It's fun and the teacher is awesome!
Re: Anyone want to do an evening Music Together class?
What's the age range?
How much?
How long are classes?
How long is the session?
I'm curious about all of these things, too! Natalie would really enjoy it, but is it for 2 1/2 year olds?
Let me know too please! KalaMoore @ hotmail dot com
I just got my confirmation for Monday Mornings but I could possibly change to Tuesday evenings... although Katen would be mad that she wasn't going. lol !
Age range is 6mos - 5yrs
This session is $140 for 7 wks
Classes are 45min
Both of my girls have looooved it. In fact Ms Ingrid and the class in general have been key to Ana feeling more comfortable in social situations. She's really blossomed because of the class.
Thanks for answering the questions, MrsReem! (And I think Maya will be a little upset about not going too)
Ditto everything MrsReem said. Maya started Music Together when she was 10 months old. We stopped just before she turned 3. She LOVED every minute of it. I know Cam will too. Ms. Ingrid is so great.
Not only is it fun, the program is researched based and teaches how to sing in tune and keep a beat as well as the social skills and confidence building.
I emailed her to see how many more she needs in order to have enough to run the class. Let me know if anyone is interested!
Oh, and according the the site, it's an 8 week winter session.

There are also a few evening options at http://www.iowayouthchorus.org/Beginnings/beg_schedule.pdf -- if those work any better for your schedule... I think it's a similar curriculum, though I'm not sure of the differences.
We're just finishing the fall session and have been very happy with the class. DD has been one of the youngest in her class but she loves the interaction. We sing the songs & dance around a lot at home
How old is your DD? My Ella is 7 months so we'd be going to the Family Music for Babies if we decide to do it. Do you get a referral bonus of some sort? I see "friend" as an option for "How did you hear about us?" so I'd be glad to put down your name if we go that route.
DD was about 18 months when we started the 15 mos-3 yrs class. I think the Babies class would be fun, though. I don't think they offer a referral bonus -- but thanks for offering! Enjoy!
