Studio Expectations
-
Please keep all distractions (toys, pacifiers, etc) in the car. Kids can hyper focus on them rather than the lesson.
-
All kids learn differently. Some children will spend the entire lesson staring mutely as we sing and dance. Others will wander around the area. Provided they are not being disruptive or dangerous, all that is welcome. If I notice things getting out of control, I will return them to their grown-ups lap.
-
Sing, dance, and play your own instruments or body unless otherwise directed. Children will learn best by watching their grown-up and moving at their own developmental and comfort level.
-
Have fun! Making music in a group is a joyful experience!
