Review of Music with Mar

I have heard so much about Music with Mar in the 3 and 1/2 years I've lived here. It seems every mom I know has done this music class, but we never have! Friday we met another mom and her son and participated in Music with Mar for the first time.

Our friend and her son regularly attend Music with Mar at the Amherst Community Church during the 11am time. This class is held in the Community Room which is a huge room with beautiful, old wood floors. I was told that generally this particular class is about 15-20 mommies and their kids. The last couple of weeks this class has been more like 35 moms and their kids. So, let's think about that for a second. I counted about 35 moms/dads/caregivers their, each one had one kid and some had two. That's a LOT of people for a music class!

Big B and K2 loved the little stuffed frogs that were out for play at the beginning of the class. The teacher, Miss Katie was amazing! At the beginning she brings Mr. Froggy around the room to sing hello to each child. Would you believe she did not forget one single child's name? The music at this particular class emphasized singing the alphabet, counting to 10 and learning primary and secondary colors. All of which was done with body movement of some kind. Also, there was a walking and marching around the room activity watching Miss Katie's signs of red, yellow or green lights.

My kids really had a good time and you can't beat the price - $7 for our family. No registration is necessary so you may like that kind of flexibility. You just go when you can. The drawback to that is just what we experienced when we visited. A huge class with a LOT of kids running around!

The great thing about Music with Mar is that it is offered in many, many locations. Give it a try - your kids will have a fun time!
