Just for those of you looking to donate quick:
Well hello everyone! I am sorry it has been so long since an update but I am been so busy studying Kindermusik lessons, philosophy, and songs!
As of today, I have completed all of Phase 1 and over half of phase two. The background check is complete and accepted and we have established a location and group for our practice class!!
We have been actively seeking more business sponsors as well as accepting donations from individuals - training and franchise fees remains to cost about $70 a month! As of right now we can make it for three more months. I would love to raise enough to have some of our first students be on scholarships - truly i think there should be free fun educational and creative things for children of all incomes in our community but we will start with those in the most financial need. Of course, raising enough to have our second teacher trained would be fantastic! She will cost thirty dollars a month to get trained and provide us with so many more chances to have classes!
Class itself has been exciting and so informative - each lesson is based on child development concepts and Kindermusik expects all educators to know the developmental basis for each and every activity. Parents may be surprised at how high we are asked to sing - but it has been proven over and over again that for these little ones the voice they respond to the most is SUPER SOPRANO - so be prepared for minnie mouse voices when you come!
So yes yes we still need all of you and hope some people consider recurring donations as we truly hope to extend Music for Little Ones to encompass all sorts of musical fun for families in our community and we will even share with people who come and visit if they ask very nicely.
and check back this week for photos of our practice space and our permanent location!
please please please donate!

Help
Bring Kindermusik to Rabun County!
Kindermusik is
a fun music and movement class for parents, caretakers, and children.
This class
combines simple instruments, chants, and songs with silly dances and
movements – to get everyone up, active, and participating!
We call our
campaign to bring it here Music for Little Ones! Music for
little Ones believes strongly in bringing people together with the
power of silly songs!
Our first group
will be preschoolers but we intend to expand into gradeschool and the
community at large. We strongly believe this class could benefit
special needs individuals and senior citizens as well as kids and
parents!
Check out
our Music for Little Ones website for the latest information:
Check
out more about kindermusik at kindermusik.com
Our
initial goal is to raise $1,000 to pay for teacher training and
franchise fees!
Blue
ridge Music has offered the Nichols Center as a place to have our
program
and
several community businesses have helped out by sponsoring or
donating.
We
have raised about $500 and seem to be a little stuck there!
