Do you have anyone that comes in to do classes? I know around our area I've heard of a music lady that comes twice a month. Wondering how many do this and for what classes.

We have a music teacher that comes once a week and does a half hour lesson pf music & movement. She is a local musician who teaches private instrument and voice lessons as well. -
We have someone who comes in twice a month for a music and movement program. I'd like to make it once a week but need to wait until finances are better.Comment

Same here. One of my DCM's is an elementary music teacher. She comes in once a week and does a 20-30 minute music lesson for my preschoolers.
She also does a 20 minute lesson with my toddlers twice a month.
My DH also does bi-weekly "wood shop" with the kids. They love it!Comment

How did you find them? I've heard of a music lady around here and a yoga one, but don't know where to find their info. The music lady went to the dc my kids went to when they were young, but not really on speaking terms with her to ask
.
BC-woodshop sounds fun! We use to take ours to Lowe's on Saturdays for their projects and had a blast!Comment

I'd love to do this ... what a treat. I always thought that since my DC children tend to be on the young side (3 and under mostly) that I wouldn't be able to do a music type of class. That's interesting BC, what types of music activities does she do with your DC children?
I have a friend that works as a preschool teacher and once she gets settled into her groove at the school we're going to work something out where she will come and do an art activity once or twice a month with my children after she gets off of work. We've been talking about me paying for the supplies (which I do now anyway) and her coming in for 30 minutes or so for free and she'd get practice working with FCC and use me as a reference for other FCC daycares.
Maybe offering this option to someone that is either wanting to start giving classes to children or is just getting started. I would think that offering this to students that want to teach may also be a great option. Maybe you can contact the child development department at a local college and offer your daycare to get experience for no or low cost. Daycares with older children can probably contact the music department and do the same for their older daycare children. For the younger crowd maybe booking a different music student once a month for a small fee to play a musical instrument and teach them a little something about the instrument in a short 30 minute class. What a treat!Comment

She does a basic introduction of musical instruments for several weeks.
Then she will begin introducing them to basic notes/sounds. She makes it really fun for the kids and by the time the school year is over, she always has one or two that can play Mary Had A Little Lamb on the recorder.
For the toddler's she just does fun stuff....she teaches them how to use each instrument and has them practice using them.Comment

Can I ask what you pay them for their classes? Do you pay monthly, per class, etc? Thanks!Comment

We have a weekly music and movement teacher and my kids are all under 3 and it is wonderful! I have kids who are under 2 who sing along!Comment

I don't pay my DCM. I offered to but she declined.
She said she LOVES what she does and is delighted to have the opportunity to introduce the under 5 crowd to music and it's benefits.
Atleast 3/4th of my DCK's will attend the elementary school where she teaches.... I think she is really happy she gets to start building a relationship with them now before she "meets" them in Kindy.Comment

I would love to have access to something like this. I have thought about asking our local art teachers, music etc to come visit during the summer months. But, afraid of cost. Maybe a barter would be the answer..We do yoga here but the kids laugh at me :
: I guess I am pretty funny when doing it.
