Baby's First Class at MacPhail Center for Music

We've been enamored with the MacPhail Center for Music since moving to the Mill District.  On February 5 we took our 15-month old grandson Louis to his first class there -  Musical Explorations II.  Angela is an incredible teacher.  She transitioned from activity to activity effortlessly, played piano and guitar, and explained the whys and hows of incorporating music into a child's development. 

The quality of activities, materials and follow up is wonderful.  After class parents were given a CD of songs recorded by MacPhail teachers, along with other materials. Shortly after class we received an email with a weekly Lesson - complete with videos and sheet music.  It is a true commitment to ensuring the lessons go beyond the weekly 1-hour class.

Below, Louis learns the Hokey Pokey with the help of his parents:
