The summer session of Kindermusik is coming to a close & that means fall classes are around the corner! Classes are filling quickly, so send in your registration & deposit today to get the class for you. The Village class on Wednesday 9:15 a.m. is already full, so other choices need to be selected.
If you register and pay in full by July 15, you can deduct $10. Other discounts include having siblings enrolled (10%), or having curriculum from an older child & getting a sibling home kit...that saves you $40. If none of the discounts apply & you can't pay in full, then email me (knobles@berry.edu) about a payment plan.
Classes begin August 15 and run for 15 weeks. With a few holidays in the mix, you get class until early December! The fee you pay includes ALL your materials plus the weekly classes. No equipment to purchase, just come as your are for once a week music making with your child, and new friends too! Come join the fun.
Do you need some affirmation that Kindermusik is a solid choice for your family? Mary Sheedy Kurcinka, author of "Raising Your Spirited Child", has this to say:
"Kindermusik brings parents and children together for fun and education. The learning is active, engaging and developmentally appropriate. Children are exposed to diverse learning materials and are provided with rich opportunities for hands-on experiences with developmentally appropriate instruments. The joy is in the process of learning and the result is children who are more attuned in reaching their full potential."

Free Concert June 24
If you have kids then you know that CARS 2 is due out on Friday June 24. I'm excited about the movie, but this Friday I'm going to a FREE CONCERT by the Eighth Regiment Band at the Rome City Auditorium. 
The concert will commemorate the 25th anniversary of the establishment of the local band which has since been a fixture in the arts and history communities.
The band is a recreation of a 19th Century Brass Band, complete with authenticate period instruments.
The concert opens with the Star Spangled Banner at 7:30 p.m. & is free to the public

Rhythms of the Land camp
Children attending Kamp Kindermusik at Berry College are learning about Native Americans. Rhythms of the Land is a fun, high energy camp where ages 4 - 7 year olds learn about Indian tribes and their music.
We sing songs like Land of the Silver Birch, Ho Ho Watanay & Navajo Happy Song. We have had lots of experience with steady beat this week using a variety of drums. The children can distinguish different rhythms aurally and visually, plus they can use them an ensemble.
Drumming our tribe names:
Aztec, Mic Mac, Blackfoot Cherokee,
Pueblo, Navajo, Cheyenne, Cree
We learned that many tribes make mask to use in their celebrations and festivals. We made our own fun masks. Here's June with her mask & necklace.
Making our necklaces.
Who is that masked girl playing the drum?
Native Americans live in teepees, wigwams and other dwellings different than our homes. Here we are inside our "Rainbow wigwam"...known as a parachute. We had snack and a story while in the wigwam. Our story was The Legend of Sleeping Bear. It was a sad story, but because it's a legend we know it is not true.
Here are the kids in front of their totem pole.
There are children under the mask.
