MESSAGE TO PARENTS OF GROUP MUSIC STUDENTS AGE 2-5
Hi, I'm Louis Landry, or Mr. Louie to many of your kids. I've been learning as much as possible about music since I was about 6 years old. My family and friends have always shared great music with me, and since 2007 my baritone ukulele and I have been passing along some of our favorite songs to the next generation of rock stars. Every class is different, but we usually do 3 main things: SING, LISTEN, and DANCE. From these 3 starting points we can go to a lot of different songs that can help young people learn about their senses and emotions, how to be a good audience, how to think creatively, and to be in the moment! I feel blessed to be able to share my life's work with your children. Please read on for more info about me and what to expect from my music circles.
