Oakland (Montclair) - St. John's Episcopal Church (
This is the essential Music Together® class, one that a child can attend from birth through age five—and through all nine song collections. This basic class follows the recommendations of child development researchers, grouping children of a variety of ages in one class. This approach fosters natural, family-style learning where younger children enjoy watching and imitating older ones; older children learn by leading younger ones; and adults are happy because the children in the family can go to class together.
Each child participates at his or her own developmental level in singing, moving, chanting, listening, observing, or exploring musical instruments. We welcome the whole family to join in this important family music experience, and any caregiver—parents, grandparents, nanny—can bring the child(ren) to class.
Alice loves to connect with families through music, movement and laughter. She started her journey with Music Together by taking classes with her own daughter, which inspired her to share the gift of music in community as a teacher. Alice feels lucky to have grown up in a musical family who encouraged her creative development at a young age, when she learned to play the piano and sang with a choir. She has dabbled in many dance forms including Cuban salsa, ballet, belly dancing, flamenco, and English and Scottish country dancing. She also performs regularly with an ensemble. Fans of Alice enjoy her positive energy, warmth and inclusiveness. Alice loves to create a fun environment for adults and kids alike to relax, move and sing!
