  • We need you to sing, dance and model musical behaviors for your children, so please refrain from taking photos as much as possible.
  • Please try to refrain from snacking during class as it takes everyone out of the learning process

We will be in a public space and there are many things out of our control, such as weather, ground conditions, bugs, noise, etc. We’ll do our best with what we can!

 

Canta y Baila Conmigo®

Canta y Baila Conmigo® is a Spanish language and culture program with dual, complementary goals of music development and Spanish acquisition. It is both a music class in Spanish and a family language immersion experience.  CyBC introduces the Spanish language through the musical traditions of Spanish-speaking countries. Our families receive beautiful, professionally recorded music collections carefully selected to represent the wide variety of Hispanic musical traditions and genres. The take-home family songbook includes music notation, lyrics and information about the origins of the songs in both Spanish and English. The material is accessible to native Spanish speakers and non-Spanish speakers alike and accessible to both children and adults. 

 Extra Sunday Class

This class is for enrolled families as an extra class, a makeup, and as a way to get adults who don't usually get to come to be able to enjoy the live, community music-making experience with their children. We also invite new families to come drop-in as well.

 Music Together® Mixed Age

This is our standard mixed age music class. Our parents, grandparents and caregivers have a real chance to shine in this class while they bond with their children. The part-singing and improvisation in these classes are simply magical. Watch the big kids (3 and 4 year-olds) take on a leadership role as they model music-making for the little ones. See the babies and toddlers enthralled by watching the big kids. Bring the whole family and watch as everyone has a blast while their musicianship matures.
