"I feel the success of my classes is always a result of the participation of the parents. Creating a fun, silly and enthusiastic environment encourages the children to safely explore without any expectations. Getting the parents to sing is the most important thing for me in a class. Some parents feel they don’t have a singing voice or any rhythm. None of this matters in my class. The parent’s voice is the most important thing to a child. When they hear their parent singing, they start experimenting with their own vocal chords. When the parent starts moving their bodies to the music, the child moves to the music as well. At this age, music is not a lesson, it is an experience. At the end of the day, we have fun and we get incredibly goofy. What happens in Music Together stays in Music Together!"
