Guest guest Posted August 9, 2009 Report Share Posted August 9, 2009 We have attended classes by an international group called 'music together'. You can go to www.musictogether.com for more information. My son has attended these classes since age 3 and still goes if I have a scheduling issue and my youngest is singed up. I still think he benefits even now. I cannot imagine the class / teacher philosophy being turing a child away. They really believe any child can learn and develop and benefit from music. The classes are not the typical child music classes, but very thought out, planned to use the interaction from class and music for development. There are a variety of songs from other cultures, different rythms, tonation, beat, etc. that helps with engagement, and regulation / social from others. Adults participate in the class also. You get a cd and can do the songs at home also. I have been to other classes, even well known ones, but there is no comparison to the quality. It is a little more than some other classes, but like everything, you get what you pay for! We even have a teacher that is a music therapist, am sure this is not always the case though. Highly recommeded.

Guest guest Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 Hi, My girl is loves music, so I got a keyboard and clarinet for her. She is taking music classes, I realize she is much calm and happier since taking her classes. It cost me over 100 dollars a month, but because she has epilepsy that could lead to learning problems I am going to motivate her to keep up with her music eventhough I am very academics and I believe in a college education. Oh well I have to lower my academic expectations for her, definite going to college with epilepsy is going to be a challenge for her. Has somebody try music therapist?

Guest guest Posted November 28, 2010 Report Share Posted November 28, 2010 Flutes can be tricky. If you want a woodwind clarinets aren't to heavy the come apart for easy carrying. Good luck! P.s any musical questions just let me know my grandpa fixes insrtuments for a living and has lots of knowledge on that.

Guest guest Posted November 29, 2010 Report Share Posted November 29, 2010 In the Kids Get Arthritis Too magazine about a year ago there was an article concerning this. I will have to do some research to see if I can find a copy. so far I am having no luck finding an online copy. e G'day again, Really quick question as I have to go cook tea and dash off to two meetings tonight (if one can " dash " on crutches, LOL)!
