Basic Info

The mission of the Music with Mar. program is to get more parents involved with their children in positive activities while using music to prepare them for the future!

CLASS PHILOSOPHY - To provide music activities for adult and child to participate in together which aid in the total development of the child as well as enhancing the adult's understanding of the importance of involvement in these classes.

VISION - To educate other qualified individuals to teach the classes and philosophy of Music with Mar. so its powerful impact can touch more lives.

What is "Music with Mar."?
Classes~ ~
There are several music classes available for parents to attend with their children.
What makes "Music with Mar." different?
Whereas some music classes focus on teaching to the little musician, Music with Mar. classes teach to the whole child using music. The child's music abilities can be nurtured along with motor, social, language, safety and cognitive skills. A good music foundation for later on as well as an all around good academic foundation is laid out through the use of well thought out lyrics and movements.
Come and enjoy!

Materials to supplement the fun ~ ~
