Hello Sing, Dance & Play families and friends! We are happy to announce that our wonderful class will be happening Wednesday and Thursday mornings at 9:45 a.m. We are enjoying the world of music and imaginative play. It is exciting for me to watch as your babies grow into toddlers and your toddles grow into "big kids".

 Exposure to music at an early age provides benefits to your child's developing brain in a way that nothing else can. As your babies listen, move, play and learn through music, an unseen, amazing process is occurring. It's called "Synapotogenesis". In all my years of studying child development, this is my favorite word because it explains the value and benefit that  early exposure to the arts, and music specifically, has on your baby's brain. Here is brief definition of the word:

 "Although it occurs throughout a healthy person's lifespan, an explosion of synapse formation occurs during early brain development, known as exuberant synaptogenesis."

How thrilling for me, Teacher Susy, to be a part of bringing about :"exuberant synaptogenesis" in your young child's developing brain!

If we could see the neurons connecting and the neural pathways forming during a typical 45 minute Sing, Dance & Play class....it would be mind blowing!

I could never overestimate the value of music in your child's life. Classical, jazz, ethnic music of all kinds. Give your child a rich tapestry of sound to soothe, stimulate, nurture, comfort and elevate their awareness of their world. Music can help you organize your day, motivate your child to clean up, slow down, play, imagine or whatever you might need in the moment. 

Make music an important part of your child's life. Share your favorite music with them. Enjoy music together.

We'll see you in class!  
Every Wed & Thur in the Uruapan Room at Vetreran's Park in Culver City.

Keep singing!
Love,
Teacher Susy
