Over 125 children and parents attend the Songs for Seeds concert in Rye

Over 125 parents and children came to the Songs for Seeds free concert Saturday at Rye Town Park.

The concert was held to introduce the toddler music program, called "Best Children’s Music Class" by New York Magazine, to the community.

Songs for Seeds will begin toddler music classes at The East Pointe Dance Studio, 11 Rye Ridge Plaza, starting on Tuesday, Sept. 20. Ten classes for children (under 6-years of age) will be held on Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday and the entire schedule is available at https://songsforseeds.com/ny/ryebrook

"It was a wonderful turnout," said Dana Goodman, owner of Songs for Seeds in Scarsdale and Rye Brook. "We were thrilled to host all the children and their parents who had a great time and we were encouraged about the early interest in our expansion and classes in Rye Brook."

Founded in 2009 by the owners of Apple Seeds, a NYC based company that offers fun, educational programs for young children, Songs for Seeds has not only been praised by New York Magazine, but has also been called a "Most Magical Music Class" by Red Tricycle.

Songs for Seeds features 45-minute classes led by a three-piece live band of teacher/musicians who encourage kids to sing, play instruments, and dance. At the end of class, the students are invited to sing with the band (karaoke style) and play the band’s instruments (guitar, keys and drums).

Each week the children experience music, instruments and language from a different culture. Magnetic art murals are created by the children during the sing-along of well-known nursery rhymes, magic tricks are used to practice numbers and counting and a wheel is spun to reinforce the names and sounds of animals. By mixing original kids rock 'n' roll with adult contemporary music, the band is sure to please little ones (and their adult parents!).
