Village 10:30 Thursday class is FULL. I have opened another section of this class immediately following it at 11:30, and I have a class scheduled at Hope Church on Wednesdays at 9:30 with one child enrolled. I need 3 to begin a class, and prefer 4. If you'd like to sign up, but are concerned about the cost, you can pay half the materials fee now and half in November*, and pay monthly for your tuition, with no contract. You can sign up by visiting KMTabby.com and registering online. If you have any questions, please email me! kindermusik at harmonymusicstudio.com comes to me on my phone, so I usually respond within a matter of just a few hours, if not sooner.

I am also looking for 3-5 year olds for an Imagine That class. The currently scheduled class has one child on the list to start, but she is flexible for scheduling if the current time doesn't work for you. It's tentatively scheduled for Tuesdays at 11:30. I can schedule it another day (Wednesday or Thursday) at another morning to midday time. Please let me know if you're interested in this class.

Scholarships are available for students demonstrating need. Discuss your options with me if the cost of Kindermusik is not in your budget right now. My goal is to reach as many children as possible with this wonderful program, so please don't hesitate to approach me if you want to come but need help.

We haven't even started our summer semester yet, and already families are asking me about the lineup of fall classes. I posted a survey, and received 17 responses. Based on those responses, I have developed a robust fall schedule that I hope will work well for our currently enrolled families, and give new students a chance to experience the magic of Kindermusik as well. Note the addition of WEEKEND classes and Family Time classes, as well. Click the image or go directly to ...

Register Now for Spring 2009 Kindermusik

BEGINS MONDAY FEBRUARY 2nd!

Classes in Friendswood (77546)
& Pearland (77581 and 77584)

Ms. Tabby is pleased to announce her Spring 2009 schedule for Kindermusik classes at Harmony Music Studio and the Westside Events Center in Pearland.

Village ~ Newborn to 1 1/2 years with parent ~ Hickory, Dickory, Tickle, & Bounce / Rhythm Of My Day

Hickory, Dickory, Tickle and Bounce is focused on further feeding a baby’s language development through the rhythmic nature of nursery rhymes. You and your child will also discover plenty of implied movement activities throughout the semester with many additional movement concepts - like up and down - incorporated into the literature book. Favorite songs and activities from Hickory, Dickory, Tickle and Bounce include “Peek-a-boo,” “Baa Baa Black Sheep,” “Beat the Drum,” “Roll That Ball,” “Sulla Lulla” and “The Blackbird.”

Rhythm Of My Day - This class will help you bring more rhythm and routine to your baby’s day, as well as help develop lasting learning skills. We’ll show you how and tell you why music can help your little one soothe into the day’s schedule and help build a strong body and mind network for learning. You can bring home those same stress-free play and relaxation techniques from class, and incorporate them into your daily routines. Home Materials include The Rhythm of My Day — a colorful picture board book with class themes, CD of beautifully arranged songs from class, a set of Art Banners and an instrument for music-making at home.

Our Time ~ 1 1/2 to 3 1/2 years with parent ~ Fiddle-dee-dee


This unit takes its name from the beloved folk song about the fly who married the bumblebee and the theme of “fiddling around” is present all throughout the semester. Creatures from the animal kingdom, whether furry, web-footed, winged or whiskered are explored in this unit. The two literature books are Piggy Played the Fiddle and Animal Serenade. Fiddlesticks are a one-of-a-kind Kindermusik instrument that can be rattled, rolled, tapped and fiddled with to create fun sounds and play possibilities.

Imagine That ~ 3 - 5 years with 10 minute "Sharing Time" ~ Cities! Busy Places, Friendly Faces


This unit transports your child into a city, where ordinary sounds and sights on the street make a musical ensemble. People shuffle their feet to a 4/4 beat. Street musicians serenade and sing. Clock towers boom, bellow and ring. The class will create a city that’s familiar, yet like no other. Using visual tools and home activities, children will transform the classroom, build a city out of handcrafted “buildings” and walk down sidewalks made of masking tape and freezer paper. The two literature books are Razupatu Toto and Down Our Street. Resonator Bars are the featured instrument.



Young Child Semester 2 ~ 5-7 years / Kindergarten & 1st Grade with 10 minute "Sharing Time" ~ Semester 2

Semester 2 focuses on concepts such as piano/forte, crescendo/decrescendo and legato/staccato as students explore string and woodwind instruments, notation, and even a bit of Beethoven. Children will apply their new knowledge of aural skills and reading and writing music notations as they further develop their glockenspiel skills.

New students are accepted into Young Child 2 without having taken Young Child 1. There is a lot of built in review in Young Child 2 for the benefit of new students, as well as returning students.




Young Child Semester 4 ~ continuing students only ~ Contact Ms. Tabby for enrollment details.

Semester 4 focuses on verse and refrains, solos and chorus, and music form (ABA and rondo). Students also review notation, rhythms, treble clef and the complete C scale while exploring the sounds of wind instruments with the introduction of the recorder and continuing with the glockenspiel.

New students are NOT accepted in Young Child 4 due to the sequential nature of the Young Child course. Children must have taken at least one previous semester of Young Child to attend Semester 4.
