Sad news, East End Arts did not get the students needed for their week long winter programs.
Little Folk's Music will be at Comsewquoge Library on March 7!
Little Folk's Music believes that parents are the child's most influential teacher.
"Babies are born ready to learn. Early neural connections occur at warp speed. Learning is faster, easier and more fun than it will ever be again. By age 3, certain developmental windows begin to close. By the time a child starts kindergarten, 90 percent of structural brain development is complete. The foundation for lifelong learning is largely set."
Whatever or wherever you call home, the serenity, peace and security that is there, will be how a child's learning will take root and grow.
"Early experiences profoundly impact a child's social, emotional, intellectual and physical development. Young children need consistent and supportive relationships with parents or other caregivers. They need frequent interactions with those adults. They need sensory stimulation, exposure to a language-rich environment and a feeling of safety and security."
Consistencies and routine are Little Folk's
Music fundamental core!
Sound imitation, rhyming, singing, and object / symbol identification foster language skills. Moving to differing cultural music “moods” develops timing, spatial awareness and a sense of balance.
How does Little Folk's Music benefit your child?
♥Exposure to new and ever changing world that allows the child's natural curiosity with families consistent reassurance and support.
♥Promotes the interactive parent/child need for development through literacy, music and movement.
♥Educates you on the fundamental impressionable, interactive role the parent and/or caregiver has on learning.
♥Encourages successful learning through self-confidence, curiosity, self-expression, social behaviors and cooperation.

December FOLLIES!!!!
Little Folk's Music had the opportunity to take part in the 16th annual Dickens Festival in Port Jefferson. Where Little Folk's Music had one class at the village center on Saturday, December 3rd. Than, on Sunday, December 4th, A band of young carolers along with Ms. Folk sang in 19 restaurants! At Paces of Port Jefferson, the young carolers sung on their own. What a warm welcome they received by all!
Little Folk's Music is NOW setting up for the new year with all the recent bookings we had to run and get the 2012 calendar! Little Folk's Music is now considering teaching the teacher classes. This is a new endeavor and will be looked at very carefully. Since, Little Folk's Music presently has two musical educationally modeled albums for families to share, it is now time to finish up the seasons with two more.
As families get more aware of the promise of music and full body motion in early literacy education, Little folk's music will promote steady beat with incidental melodic training and suggest daily routines to help with that understanding.
Life is GOOD. Having HOPE is the best way to enjoy it.

Late Fall, early WINTER!
Little Folk's Music will be at
Half Hollow Hills Library at 10am., Dix Hills;

Little Folk's music 'WINTER' (Birth to 5years)
Music activates and lights up all areas of the brain."prime times" or "windows of opportunity" exist when the brain is a "supersponge," absorbing new information more easily and developing in major leaps. This is especially true in the first five years of life.
December 8th;
North Shore Public Library at 10:15 am, Shoreham/Wading River; Infant rhythms (newborn-6 months)
Newborn infant brain begins wiring up from the moment of birth. Babies respond to and reflect the attention of their parents and their environment. Rhythm and steady beat help develop everything from physical coordination to language skills. through creative songs, movement and activities using sensory enhancing props to help develop eye tracking, muscle-joint awareness, tactile stimulation, sound awareness and balance to name a few. Parents gain support, make new friends and share information in a gentle and caring surrounding while babies learn socialization as well.
December 13th;
Copiague Memorial Public Library at 10:30am, Copiague;
Little Folk's will be joining their Parent-Toddler Workshop as a early childhood resource specialist to answer parents' questions about the developing mind and music. With a preview of Little Folk's Music program.
Early exposure to music plays a dominate role, wiring the brain for reading, math, language, and all types of learning & social skills. By participating in Little Folk's Music classes and singing routinely at home develops motor skills, steady beat and rhythm!
The development of a child's brain holds the key. So touch, talk, read, smile, sing, count and play with your children. It does more than make both of you feel good. It helps develop and nourishes the brain and the child's potential for a lifetime.

Meg and Bella VISIT!
Our Summer was filled with Great joy and love. The opportunities small children give us to learn about ourselves is amazing. I became an over protective grandmother, a side of me I have never seen before considering the type of work I do. I had to have one of my older friend's explain this reaction; "Your baby is now raising a baby, you are just insuring you raised yours right!" Ah, parenting! What a wonderful adventure.
Little Folk's Music is presently booking for Winter! If your school or library is in need of Musical adventures classes, ages birth to five with parent, have them contact me @(631)830-5058. Please point our where you found this blog.
