Of course, you want to try a Kindermusik class with Ms. Debbie, or an art class with Ms. Carolyn, but you are worried about the cost, or whether your child will like it, or whether they will disrupt the class, or whether you will have to dance or sing. Well, don’t worry so much, you can dance and...Holiday Thank You Cards as a Family Ritu...
Gratitude is a gift you give back lovingly, not a chore to be forced. SO, how can we, as parents, set this up for success for our children to take on this task with pride and wholeness of heart? We make it into a full family ritual, complete with sounds, smells, tastes, and a Thank...Top 5 Gifts of Music
“I LOVE Music !” your child says, whether with words, or with their body when music is playing and when enjoying an instrument, or with their facial expressions when you are singing with them. If they could, they might tell you their top 5 gifts of music like this. I love to listen in the car, and...Local Treasures – Holiday Events for 201...
It is hard to find a good listing of ALL the wonderful local holiday events for Lakeland, FL, in one place. It has actually taken a good bit of research and even some phone calls to compile this list of what I consider “must-do” holiday events coming up in Lakeland or nearby. I WISH I could do all...Grateful for Local Treasures
As I look around this holiday season, I am looking with a new perspective. Looking past the glitter and hype, I am extremely GRATEFUL to find myself surrounded by so much personal talent, passionate interests, and dedicated hard-working people in my community. Looking past the mass produced objects, and chain services, I find my neighbors...Hands On Play with Pumpkins
At the beginning of October, I set out to find just the right real Pumpkins for my annual Pumpkin Party ! This year, I had a new goal, to find a variety of sizes, from very small to very large. I was led, in part by a desire to demonstrate a growing pumpkin in the...Appalachian Music is Front Porch America...
In the Appalachian Mountains – a strong part of our American heritage was wrapped up in songs and music that were birthed on the porches and back yards and shared only from person to person. Much of this music and heritage may have been lost, except for a select few who saw the beauty, and...Melodies and More on a Mountain Dulcimer
The Mountain Dulcimer is a unique stringed instrument that was born in the Appalachian mountains. The fact that it is already tuned to a known chord, AND that is that it is played on the lap, makes it easier for young children to learn than the ukulele or the guitar. With 4 strings tuned typically...Kindermusik in Winter Haven – A survey ...
I am thrilled at the level of interest from families to have Kindermusik programs offered in Winter Haven. More and more families are recognizing the value of music in the lives of their children and families, and want to have it more accessible.

WOW ! Pumpkins have such a wide variety of possibilities ! I’m SURE the first person to find a pumpkin never imagined how much fun they could be. This is our FOURTH year to Party with the Pumpkins and Mrs. Debbie ! With a review of my blog postings of the past, I have...Benefits of Beats for Babies and Beyond
Why do I need to spend time with my child focusing on Steady Beat? There’s an old adage, “With age comes wisdom”. And then there’s the comedy trailer, “… and sometimes age comes all by itself.” The same is true for steady beat. Most people don’t understand its importance: in an international study by the...A Parent’s Guide to Beats and Rhythms
For the non-musician, sometimes musical terms can be a second language. For many parents, some terms may be familiar, especially with the brilliant musical teachings of The Little Einsteins (Thanks Disney). But it might not be easy to explain it to someone else, much less understand these concepts well enough to help your child develop...Developmental progression of a Steady Be...
Help your child develop a Steady Beat Learning to keep a steady beat is more about ability than age, because you can improve this ability at any age. And it always starts with experiencing it fully FIRST. But during the earliest years, there are developmental milestones that must be met in order to progress to...Communicate easier with your baby with s...
You can see the brain wheels turning as older babies and toddlers try to communicate… as they try to tell an older sibling or adult what they need or want. You can also see the dazed look on the parent’s face as they try so hard to understand. Amazingly, older siblings can be impressive interpreters. ...Fall Semester Programs and Themes

Do you and your children get tingles of pride when you see a large flag waving in the wind, or hear the national anthem, or sing “America, the Beautiful” together? I DO, I proudly put my hand over my heart and often get tears in my eyes as I watch the flag parade by. I...Enjoy a StoryWalk in Downtown Lakeland
