Ms. Tabby and Corwyn share a musical High-5 in Kindermusik class
This wonderful list has been published all over the internet, and today I found it linked from twitter on the Kindermusik International blog. It's definitely one of those things that bears repeating, especially as I prepare to go do a brief cameo at a summer camp program for special needs kids up in Pasadena. Music moves us all, and I am moved to share it with you through lessons, Kindermusik classes, and being part of the musically involved population in our community.
Not because we expect you to major in music. Not only because we expect you to play or sing all your life. Not only so you can relax. Not just so you can have fun.
But... so you will be more human. so you will recognize beauty. so you will be sensitive. so you will be closer to an infinite beyond this world. so you will have something to cling to. so you will have more compassion, more gentleness, more good--in short, more life.
Of what value will it be to make a prosperous living unless you know how to live?

Teachers: Ms. Tabby Worthington - Thursday, January 1, 2009
Ms. Tabby Worthington - Voice, Piano & Kindermusik Instructor
Ms. Tabby has been with the studio since 2001. She offers instruction mainly in voice, but occasionally will take on a piano student or two. Ms. Tabby attended the University of Nevada Las Vegas as a Vocal Music Education Major, and has studied with Mr. Tom McKinney as an apprentice of the "One True Voice" method. She has performed in many productions, including:
"Bye, Bye Birdie"
"Anything Goes"
"The Pink Panther Strikes Again"
"Guys & Dolls"
"Into The Woods" - Selected scenes
"The Old Maid and the Thief" - Selected scenes
"La Traviata" and "Candide" - Selected scenes
"The Merry Widow"
"The Magic Flute"
Ms. Tabby encourages all students to try out different styles of music instead of focusing on just one. "I believe that having a well-rounded background in all kinds of music makes for better musicians," she says. Students in her studio will study music theory and sight singing in addition to working on solo songs. We will study Jazz, Blues, Contemporary, Gospel or Contemporary Christian, Sacred, Classical, Baroque, Musical Theater, and Romantic styles throughout the year on a rotating basis.
In 2007, Ms. Tabby graduated from Kindermusik University and became a Licensed Kindermusik Educator, which makes her a special expert on early childhood development through music and movement. Kindermusik is a wonderful program for children from infants to 7 year olds. In the classroom, we work on enhancing the development of all areas of the child through music and movement, including cognitive, social, musical, emotional, physical and language development in fun activities.
You can view Ms. Tabby's YouTube videos here: http://www.youtube.com/user/tabbyfoo - many are of students from the studio, but you'll catch a glimpse of Ms. Tabby's family and pets here, too. She enjoys art (drawing, painting, photography), prime-time TV & movies, and video games when she's not working in the garden.
