Join us for the Tiger Collection! This winter, we’ll explore the Tiger Rhythm with drumming patterns from Mali and India. Children will discover the enchantment of Indian music through the song “Chandamaame Raave” and even learn to sing a verse in Telugu! We’ll explore conducting, improvisation, and partner activities with “Don Alfredo baila,” “Ticking and Tocking,” “Everybody Loves Saturday Night” and more! “Tiger, Tigress in the Night” will delight children with imaginative play, drumming, and dancing. And with “Tiger Tracks” we’ll get to prowl and growl as we follow a tiger through his day.

Making musical memories together
“The part about this that I think is the most helpful is the support it gives the parents. Just in terms of encouraging you. I had more of a musical background, my wife less, so for her, she’s sort of not as comfortable, and I’ve seen her get a lot more comfortable, like she would never sing before, because she was like, “I have a terrible voice,” you know? And now she sings all the time with us. It feels like it just sort of encourages us to be more musical with her, and gives my wife more confidence.”

Early musical engagement
“When we first came, we weren’t sure how she would respond, but she loves it. And so, she really engaged with it, even when she was two months old, we thought it might be too much, but she was just mesmerized. I grew up with a very musical childhood, so it’s just important. We sing a lot at home.”
