The Most Wonderful Time of the Year!

The holidays are upon us! What a glorious time of Thanksgiving, Peace, Love and Joy! There are exciting things happening this holiday season.

A visit from our last foster placement this summer.

First, most of you probably know that our family spent 4 years as licensed foster parents, hosting 10 children during that time.
Our hearts are full of love for these children who are separated from their families or seeking a forever family, especially during the holidays.  We are joining with some friends to collect new, unwrapped toys for children in foster care.  If you are interested in participating, you may bring a donation of a NEW, UNWRAPPED TOY to class anytime prior to December 6th. Gifts for babies (age 0-2) and older children (10+ including teens) are needed most.  For additional information, you may visit this Facebook page or make a donation online via Go Fund Me.  All donations will go to AASK.  Thanks in advance for your generosity.




Looking for a unique gift idea for a toddler or preschooler near you?  Consider the gift of music!

Registration for Silver Buttons has begun and this holiday I'm giving away a month's tuition to 2 lucky families!  Simply share this photo on Instagram or Facebook and tag (be sure to tag me) and then leave a comment on the original post tagging 2 friends who you would enjoy seeing each week in class. Be sure to register for class before December 3 to avoid late shipping fee and ensure materials delivery by Christmas! Silver Buttons will begin January 7. Good luck!

If you haven't yet experienced the joy of Sound Beginnings, come to a sample class on Wednesday 12/3 at 10am (Or ask about an alternate sample class time). My home studio is located in downtown Mesa near Country Club & University.  Just complete this form to register for the free sample class.

Curious About Let's Play Music?

Are you a little bit curious about Let's Play Music?  Maybe you'd like the opportunity to meet me and see my studio before registering for classes?  Well, here is your chance! Come on over and see if Let's Play Music is what you are looking for. 

Tuesday, March 25th at 4:00 p.m. or 5:15 p.m. join us in a live 1st Year Let's Play Music class. Get a first hand look at the curriculum, the fun, the PLAY! Your 4-5 year old child will absolutely LOVE this class and I guarantee you will be amazed at all the musical concepts the students are learning.  Not musical? You will learn right along-side your child! 

Current First Year students are invited to BRING A FRIEND to class to share in the fun (Please be sure their parents attend, too!).  Since we are already a full class, you may chose to attend at 4:00 p.m. or 5:15 p.m. which ever class time works best with your schedule.  Both classes will be Blue Bugs Lesson 11, and Sibling Care will be available for both classes.  Please email me to let me know when you are coming and who you are bringing with you. Remember, when your friend registers, you will receive a $15 tuition credit. Thanks for helping me spread the joy of music.

See you soon!
