MusikGarten

So... while in Chicago last summer, we saw some information about a program in Chicago called the Old Town School of Folk Music. It's actually something I had previously heard of as some of the musicians that I enjoy do benefits for it, like Alejandro Escovedo. And you'll notice below that some of Greta's favorite songs of the year are from a CD from OTS of Folk Music. They are celebrating their 50th year in Chicago this year.

So it was pretty cool to see a program somewhat similar in nature hear in Cincinnati. It is maybe not quite as cool, but the concept is the same. It introduces infants to music and dance and then they have programs as your child grows to continue that growth in music. The program is built off a national program based in North Carolina called MusikGarten. In Cincinnati there is a program in Clifton called Miss Amanda's Music. Melanie went to an open house today, and she's looking at perhaps starting there at the end of January.
