Focus on 'Baby and Me' in New Adler Center Classes

The David Adler Music and Arts Center announces open registration for parent and baby music classes. A new six-week session begins February 28th. Drop-in classes run each Tuesday evening.

The Adler Center’s Prelude Program is designed for ages 0 – 5 years and uses musical play to strengthen the bond between parent and child while giving children critical early exposure to music. Participants learn songs, lullabies, chants and rhythm games as to develop skills that will lead to a life-long appreciation of music.

“Friendships are formed between families,” says Christine Albarran, Early Childhood Coordinator, “And parents leave feeling confident they can continue to foster their child’s musical growth.”

Parents and children can drop-in for a class each Tuesday from 5:15 – 6pm, and may also attend a special String Instrument petting zoo on February 21, Meet the Strings! This special workshop designed for 0 – 5 year-olds provides an introduction to the violin, viola, cello, guitar, and ukulele. Participants will explore and play new instruments.

Community Art and Music Events at the Adler Center in February:

• Youth Art Workshop: Children interested in painting their own canvas can register for our monthly Youth Painting Workshop. For February, paint a sweet Valentine’s Day treat.
• Art & Wine Workshop: Adults can register for our popular Art & Wine workshops for a relaxing weekend “wine down.”
• Adler Faculty Ensemble Concert: All ages are invited to the Adler Center’s Faculty Ensemble Concert, on February 25th at 4pm, a family-friendly afternoon of piano, guitar, and violin music provided by the Adler Center’s world-class faculty.
