We’re thrilled to tell you about a new, high-energy, affordable music and movement class for kids and their parents/caregivers in Savannah.

Music with Mar. is for children ages 6 months-6 years old and a parent/caregiver. The class opening will be the first in Savannah and one of many Music with Mar. classes nationwide.

Savannah classes are taught by Carlyle Dorroh, a warm and personable mother-of-three with a BA in psychology, Masters in Education and over 12 years in the field of education as a teacher and school director/principal.

Classes will meet at 11 AM each Friday (starting Sept 16th) in the music room of St James Catholic Church (8412 Whitfield Ave. Fronts on Montgomery Cross Road), Savannah.

One aspect that makes Music with Mar. so unique is there’s no registration, no set sessions and all ages sing and learn together. (Great for families with multiple children!). Classes run continuously and families are encouraged to come whenever they can – which Carlyle hopes is often!

Program founder, Mar. Harmon, is dedicated to offer a fabulous, developmentally appropriate, fun music and movement class for children at a very affordable price for families. Cost is $7/class per family (up to 4 children) or a block of 5 classes (to be used any time during a 2 month period) is $30.

For more information, contact Carlyle Dorroh via email carlyled@musicwithmar.com or call 912-222-9431.
