DIY Music Class Diary Entry 1

DIY Music Class Diary

I met with the initial mom who expressed interest in hosting a music class, and we began planning. Here are the first  topics we identified to be decided before the first class begins:

Where to hold classes? Some options are:
  • Rotate member's houses monthly
  • Look into free public spaces, such as community rooms or public library
  • A combination of places
  • Same location every week
  • Private homes, and library once a month

Assigning different "jobs" to members such as downloading or printing materials from website, checking out library materials, assembling music kits

Making sure there is a way to play recorded music in each location (CD player, mp3 player with speaker

Possible 0ne-time  fee to join ($5 or $10) , to be used to purchase materials such as scarves, parachute, instruments

Developing Guidelines for handling personal issues that may arise, such as behavior or lack of supervision

We subsequently advertised using free resources, and have five moms committed  to joining the first class. Average age of children is two.We have scheduled a parent meeting at a local Starbucks to discuss common goals, and specific issues listed above. Our first class is scheduled for March 7th.

  1. You are doing a great job !
    My son is really fond of singing.But he is too young to join any institution so i am thinking to train him personally and with the help of online music learning.Recently i find a good training session of learning music on this site mymusicshoppe.com/
    I will suggest you to try it as well
