Music Together June 2014: Gallop, March, & Shake This Summer!
Summer is not only our favorite time of year because of the beautiful sunshine and warmth, but also because we get to enjoy a compilation of many of our favorite Music Together songs from the different collections. We will be enjoying the “Summer Songs 3” collection including favorites “Shake Those Simmons Down,” “Singn’ Every Day,” and many more!
Have you ever wondered about the theory behind Music Together’s song collections? There are nine collections, not including the Summer Collections, and the music themes are organized to be in sync with the feelings of the different seasons. The summer collections, which are a compilation of favorites from across the nine collections, provide some repetition as that is beneficial in children’s music development. If you go through all 9 collections, your children will learn over 300 songs – what an impressive number!
Upcoming Events

It’s Time to Celebrate!
Congratulations to all of our Hummingbirds Music Together families that have completed all nine Music Together collections! It is a pure joy seeing you all encourage your children in both expressing themselves and in their music development! We will be recognizing the families in class and also giving them a special gift towards their continued music education. In addition to our amazing families, congratulations also are in order for Miss Hazima who has now taught all 9 collections! We are so thankful that Miss Hazima is a part of Hummingbirds Music Together and helps spread her love of music and learning with us in every class!
As we started out, the start of summer is one of the BEST times of year! We hope your family and friends enjoy the longer and much warmer days! Please do plan to join us for music class and our many different events throughout the summer to help keep your family’s musical journey going strong!
Thanks you!
