Photos of the Musikhaus Studio in Seabrook

The Musikhaus Studio in Seabrook is similar to the one I had in Brazil: two pianos and plenty of room for movement, yet still cozy. The biggest difference is that the space for Music Play is separate from the smaller space for piano lessons and Keyboard Games.

Two pianos are great for private lessons, not just small group lessons!

Music Play at Seabrook Methodist’s Children’s Day Out

On Thursday mornings in March 2016, I started giving Music Play classes to the children of Seabrook United Methodist Church’s Children’s Day Out program. This is an excellent non-profit, state-licensed preschool program offered to 2-year-olds (walkers) to 5-year-olds. I’m so impressed at how happy, friendly, engaged and curious the children are. And I’m happy to have found such a good fit at a preschool so close to my home studio, where I give Music Play classes for babies to 5-year-olds with caregivers, Keyboard Games classes for 4- to 6-year-olds and Piano Lessons for ages 6 and up.

As I have only been back in the Clear Lake / Bay Area for a little more than a year, after 18 years in Brazil, potential students and their families should appreciate knowing that, since the Children’s Day Out is a licensed program, I had a thorough background check and will have one every two years.

New Music Play Class Starting October 24 at 10am

A new Music Play group for babies to 5-year-olds and caregivers (one per student) is starting at the Musikhaus studio in Seabrook on Saturdays at 10am. Music Play is a music class rooted in research of Music Learning Theory, the main ideas of which include evidence that music intelligence is best developed in personally interactive and creative musical activities, just like language ability, and that learning best occurs in a nurturing, safe and playful atmosphere. For Saturdays at 10am, there are currently 3 openings. When this time fills up, we can open up 11am either for another Music Play class or for a Keyboard Games class for 4 and 5-year-olds (see home page for description). Contact Carla at carla@musikhaustexas.com to reserve your child’s spot.

The Music Play series at the La Porte Community Library has come to a close, but look for another one coming to the Evelyn Meador Library in Seabrook in January!

The chant “Rocketship” is always a favorite in Music Play classes. It uses an unusual paired meter. Whatever that is, right? It’s fun!
