Time: 3:00 pm

Location: Pine Drive Community Church, 705 FM 517 East, Dickinson, TX 77539

Deadline: May 31st (LATE ENTRIES WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED)

We are excited to announce the date of our annual Spring Recital. Please check your calendars and return the registration and entry fees as soon as possible. Recital reservations can not be confirmed until the entry fee and registration form has been submitted.

Our Spring recital is our biggest and most exciting performing event of the year, giving students an opportunity to showcase their hard work over the past semester. There will be an awards presentation immediately following the recital, where students who entered events throughout the year will be recognized for their individual accomplishments. All students will be presented with an award in the ceremony. Please dress your best, as we will take group photos to memorialize the event. Family and friends are welcome to join us as our students take the stage and become stars.

Students who are shy or suffer from stage fright can request for their instructor to perform with them, or simply bring the teacher or a parent on stage with them for moral support. It's normal for students to be nervous, especially about a first performance, but if the student is prepared, they will do fine! Please encourage your students to practice daily to prepare, even if it's just 5 minutes here or there - the consistency of daily practice makes a big difference.

Though we try our best to accommodate the busy schedules of our studio families, it's impossible to pick the perfect recital date and time for everyone. We always hope that all students will be able to participate, but if you are unable to be a part of the recital, please let us know that as well, as it will help assist us in avoiding an oversight to have written confirmation.

Registration forms are available in the lobby at the studio.

We look forward to seeing you at another great Spring Recital!

Your Harmony Music Studio Faculty

Pearland Kindermusik classes at Westside Events Center - Beltway and 288 - Thursday, January 8, 2009

There is still space in the three Kindermusik classes offered at the Pearland Parks & Rec Westside events center! These classes begin January 26, but must meet minimum enrollment by the 19th, so sign up today!

Our Time - class for Toddlers 1 1/2 to 3 years - 2 spaces left! Mondays @ 10 am Fiddle-dee-dee We'll meet many animal characters in our books, activities, and songs—each specifically chosen for a toddler's emerging interests and physical skills. With silly, bumpy lap bounces we'll help toddlers develop rhythm while further developing their ever-emerging language skills. With a special stringed instrument emphasis in the music from class, parents can bring home the violin, cello, and orchestra sounds to help their toddlers stay happy and engaged learners at home, too. Home Materials: Double CD featuring songs from class; two interactive storybooks—This Little Piggy Played the Fiddle and Animal Serenade to develop early literacy skills; Home Activity Book, and a pair of Fiddlestick instruments. Kindermusik International requires every family participating to purchase At Home Materials. A $55 supply fee is due to your instructor the first day of class A minimum of 6 must register 7 days prior to the class start date. No class the week of Spring Break.

Imagine That! class for Preschoolers 3 to 5 years - 12 spaces left! Mondays @ 11 am Cities! Busy Places ~ Friendly Faces In this unit, sidewalks, elevators, skyscrapers, and world-traveling photographers are the theme. Learning through the pretend play that preschoolers adore, we'll be rhythmically busy playing storytelling games and handcrafting city 'buildings' from wax paper at home so we can make a cityscape in class! Plus every activity has some at-home adaptations so the parent can take part in the learning. With a pair of resonator bars as a featured instrument, and a multicultural, jazzy collection of music, preschoolers will develop the social and intellectual skills they'll need in school. Kindermusik International requires every family participating to purchase At Home Materials. This fee of $63 is due to your instructor on the first day of class. Students will not be permitted to participate in the weekly class until materials are purchased. Sibling kits are available for families.

Family Time class for ALL AGES! Babies, Toddlers, and Preschoolers - 8 spaces left! Mondays @ 9 am Movin’ & Groovin’ is a romping, rolling, stretching good time for the whole family. This ten-lesson unit of Family Time will explore lots of different ways to move—high and low, fast and slow, zigzag, curvy, and more. Family members will chug around the classroom like trains, clip-clop like horses, and roll over like puppy dogs. They’ll hear a story about playing tag together in Can You Catch Me?, and read about a jungle hokey-pokey in Put Your Left Paw In. Show your best groovin’ moves—it’s time for Movin’ & Groovin’. A minimum of 6 participants must register 7 days prior to class start date. A supply fee of $60 is due to the instructor the first day of class. Home Materials: Two Books—Can You Catch Me? and Put Your Left Paw In, Two Home CDs, Family Guide, Rascal the monkey hand puppet and finger puppet, and two monkey den-den drums.
