Music for Young Children
207 Brunswick St N5A 2L2 Stratford, ON, Canada

Here is a sample of some of the music experiences you will have in my Music for Young Children studio!

Sharon Hampson was our keynote speaker at our MYC International online conference today! What a wonderful session listening to her speak and sing. This song has a poignant message, written by her late husband Joe Hampson and her daughter Randi.

Backyard lessons! Nothing stops the music.

Children will learn to love learning if we show enthusiasm over the process rather than fixating on results. https://www.edutopia.org//why-ages-2-7-matter-so-much-brai

Brilliant. I disinfect using all those ways but whenever I clean like line 3, it reminds me of a section from Tchaikovsky’s Concerto in Bflat minor!

Music for Young Children has been reviewed by The Piano Magazine (Clavier Companion)!

again - the power of music!

Amazing animation of the inner workings of a piano (a grand piano).

Classes are now starting up - a couple of spots are left in Moonbeams 1 for 7&8 year olds, and one spot in Sunbeams 1 for a class of 6 year olds. Explore the wonderful world of music, no musical background needed. Discover the joy!

Many kids head back to school today, and it's important to remember how vital it is that children receive music education as it teaches way more than just notes on a page!! (y) <3

Piano lessons starting in the Fall. Sign up for some free half hour Try-It classes. See schedule and details at https://www.myc.com/teacher/bhorst

This brings shivers and tears. Magical indeed!

When music touches your heart... Wow. https://www.masslive.com//kid-whose-wow-reaction-to-hearin

Music for Young Children will be there! Come and see us. We are also donating a tambourine from Long & McQuade to the LOOP raffle table. Raffle tickets will be cheap and cheerful!

Having fun with E minor... not perfect but more importantly, it is about working at it and figuring it out!

So true! and... "I would teach children music, physics and philosophy; but most importantly music, for the patterns in music and all the arts are the keys to learning." - Plato

One of my adult students told me he has noticed that learning to play the piano has improved his hockey game. His reaction time to the puck is much quicker... quoted only three months after taking lessons! There is also the sheer enjoyment of creating music.

A fun day today at an improvisation workshop led by the renowned pianist and composer Christopher Norton. Ben is one of my Sunbeams 2 students.
