I am endlessly grateful to you, Lynn, for the wonderful program you have designed and with how generous you are in sharing your expertise, tips, and research. The videos are priceless, especially as you show real kids acting like real kids.  Big thanks go to Jane and Sami for their constant help and patience! I am in a big learning curve at my advanced age!  :)

    Julie Melchor Hey Lynn! I actually won this membership at a raffle in one of your sessions at the Orff conference in Nashville. I saw you present a few times in the past couple of years and loved everything! I am a 5th grade music teacher in NJ. Thanks for the warm welcome!

  Jennifer Christie Can anyone recommend a good book that introduces preschool aged children to the great composers? Something with lots of pictures would be great! Thanks for you help!

These have movement or instrument activities that preschoolers love and then we can show pictures and talk a bit about the composers. I get pictures online. I am curious about this book: sounds delightful but haven't had a chance to see it yet.
    Stories of Great Composers for Children
    Thomas TAPPER (1864 - 1958)
    This is a collection of ten short, entertaining, informative picture-book biographies of famous composers.
    Let me know if you find some good ones!  less

    Lucia Morales Lynn, I just checked again in the link and it seys that in Jun in LA Right? that the one? or The ones that your post on the link in February Orange County, etc, are they 4 days live trainings also?

    Lynn Kleiner Orange County is just a one day workshop. The June training in LA is 4 wonderful days on the beautiful LMU campus. A great deal on housing this summer if you don't want to pay for a hotel, just stay right on the campus in the dorm. Fun!

    Lucia Morales Ok, Lynn thanks for the information, I think I am going on summer, maybe to LMU campus, Are you gonna have 4 days training but in your own place (Redondo, Cal) this year?

    • Wed at 5:55 AM

    Lucia Morales Well I mean I need to choose one, but I prefer to go to the want in Redondo if you have the option. Thanks!

Last semester I did module 1 for a church group, having only two in each class. This semester they have added more kids, but the ones from last semester are enrolled again too, so new ones will be mixed in with those who have already been attending. How do you suggest I "juggle" that?

I just keep going with my lesson plans as new students join in throughout the year. When you're working with BABIES and TODDLERS the material so SO ACCESSIBLE that with a quick "parent tip" when needed, the new Moms easily catch on. The "veteran" students are thrilled to carry on and love to show that they know what to expect. The veterans also bring a level of confidence to the class. Just keep going!

    Lynn Kleiner As long as I have an opening, I welcome the new students and just like Wendy says, I continue on and give parents the tips. I'm excited to hear you have more students and you are moving on to Module 2!

  Lynn Kleiner commented on Lynn Kleiner's video: Yes, their enthusiasm is adorable. I love the grocery truck idea and have also done ice cream truck. No one loves trucks like the toddlers! I've got some new ones coming in the future that I'm quite excited about!
