(Parent & Me Savannah music classes) Do Re We Winter Session Jan. 9 – March 6

January 3rd, 2019

Do Re We Toddler Parent & Me Early Childhood Music Classes Savannah

Do-Re-We  offers music and movement Savannah classes taught by Becca Flaherty, a certified Feierabend and Kodály instructor with advanced degrees in voice performance.

Classes start Wed. Jan 9 2019 @ Buckingham South retirement & assisted living facility, 5450 Abercorn St., Savannah. Residents of Buckingham South, lovingly referred to as “Grandfriends,” participate in these classes along with parents and children.

Winter session runs Jan. 9 – March 6 (8 classes plus one make-up class).

Wednesday Morning Schedule:
9:30 – 10AM: Infants (0-12 months)
10:15 – 10:45AM: 2 & 3 Years
11: 00 – 11:30AM: Toddlers (13 – 24 months)

Cost: $120/8-week session ($15/class; no charge for make-up class)

These 30-minute weekly sessions offers traditional musical games and songs to share together in class and at home.

Research shows that interactive communication using songs, rhymes, and games can have lasting positive impacts on the attention and emotional health of infants and toddlers. Young children who are actively engaged in these kinds of musical experiences display more positive social development as well as earlier and stronger brain responses in comparison to young children who only listened passively to music.
