Your child can sing

All children are innate singers! In fact, the cooing of a child is very light, high, and musical. By keeping the child in a singing-rich environment your child will retain his/her singing voice and gain control of it in an ever-expanding range. And singing songs, playing instruments, dancing, and rocking with you elevates these experiences so they live on in the mind of the child forever.

Musikgarten music classes for children and parents

Musikgarten is an international early childhood music program for babies,

toddlers, preschoolers, kindergarteners, and their caregivers. Founder Lorna

Heyge pioneered this research-based, developmentally-appropriate early

childhood music curriculum that includes adult involvement.

All children can learn to sing on pitch and keep a beat. By providing real

music experiences in addition to teaching concepts about music, Musikgarten

immerses children in the joy of making music.

Musikgarten's programs awaken and develop your child's inborn joy and talent

for making music. Early childhood is the optimal time to start this musical

journey. Starting with the first course at 6 months and continuing through

Music Makers at the Keyboard at age 6 years, your child steps across that

important bridge from general music learning to instrumental skills. Share

the lifetime gift of music with your child.

Hotwire failed me

Until now, I have had a good experience using hotwire to book a great hotel room. I found out the hard way that if you choose a 2 1/2 star "hotel" you can end up in an awful "motel." This happened to me last week when I wanted to stay in Tifton, GA overnight on my way to Ellijay. I ended up in a Holiday Inn motel, which was pretty awful, scary, and with a creature crawling up the wall the moment I stepped into the room. Earlier in the day, I had called both hotwire and the Holiday Inn trying to change, to upgrade, to cancel, whatever, but once you book it, you are stuck, unless there's a funeral in the family, or a written doctor's rx. No exceptions, I don't think. Of course I survived the night, but it was mostly sleepless since anyone could have broken into my room. Therefore, with hotwire, I'll stick to 3 1/2 stars and up in the future. That just might insure a Hotel. Comments welcome, I'm all ears. - Susan
