This year’s show is “A World of Puppet Stories,” a journey of folk tales from around the world — England, Russia, Africa, and South America. Audiences will cheer for their favorite dog, Skeeter, to finally get his chance to be in the show! This is a traditional puppet show, performed inside a professional, colorful puppet booth. All puppets are handmade by the puppeteer. The show is followed by a demonstration speech about the puppets and puppeteering. All questions will be answered, and children will have a chance to take a closer look at the puppets that interest them. Ages 3 and up. www.curiousmoon.com

•Song (Singing) Repertoire: London Bridge; Wild Horses; Love Somebody; Drum Song;See the Pony; Hop, Old Squirrel; Hey! Let’s Dance Together & so much more!
•Have a lot of fun as we develop our musicianship through this 5-day introduction to keyboard/piano skills!
•PARENTS: This summer is a great chance to ‘check out’ the aural approach used in this curriculum to learning the piano/keyboard. The full-year program will begin in September, and I would love for you to join us! By the end of the first year of the program, children are playing songs in the following positions: D, G, C, E, F, em, fm, dm and are doing so with I, IV and V7 chordal accompaniments. They are reading patterns and rhythms in duple and triple, as well as reading patterns from the treble and bass staff. The drumming and dancing elements are also crucial to developing a sense and understanding of ensemble, and the home materials are valuable in continuing the progress throughout the week.

Plates or mugs decorated by the hands of your little ones.
Every Monday (excluding Aug. 8), 9:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. Plates are $15 ($10 for members).
