2 Million Families Choose Kindermusik!

Come See Why Over

In Kindermusik classes, the instructor leads a group of parents and their children through joyful activities, using music and movement. Parents learn more about their child’s unique developmental process, and the shared learning experience creates a bond as the child associates learning with fun, musical play. Sign language

is incorporated into each of the classes. Material fees are paid to the instructor at the �rst class. This fee is in addition to the program fee. Registration deadline is two days prior to the start of each session.

Kindermusik Adventures VillageOh, What Busy Days

Set your baby’s day to classical music. With a little more Tchaikovsky in your “Twinkle, Twinkle” repertoire you’ll discover new ways your baby bene�ts from the classics as you both develop an appreciation for the world’s most respected music. Each lesson features new activities and songs you can sing for all the places you go together - the store, the playground, the doctor, and more. Sign language is incorporated into classes. (5 weeks)

Everyone LOVES the StingRays Rock & Roll, from Rockabilly – tons of Sixties – to the 70’s. Their music, great rapport with audiences and look & moves, have made them festival favorites throughout the

the greatest names in Rock & Roll.

THE STING RAYS

Concert #2Sun. July 26 • 6-7:30pm

Swingin’ to the sounds of Count Basie, Stan Kenton, Buddy Rich and Woody Herman lit a �ame that has burned for years. As

these former music students grew into music teachers, engineers, accountants, and business people, the desire to keep the Big

Band Jazz music alive led to the formation of the Switch Time Jazz Ensemble, a 17-piece group Big Band!

SWITCH TIME JAZZ

Concert #3Sun. August 23 • 6-7:30pm

Do you love The Beatles AND the 60’s? Then you don’t want to miss this concert. The Beatnix, the #1 rated Beatles & 60’s Rock ‘n
