PSA: classes at Wolf Trap, registration is open

I took DD #1 to a Baby ArtsPlay class at Wolf Trap last Fall.  Loved it.  But I'm biased because not only did I use to work there, I was the program manager for the infant music classes way back when they started them.

Hi there!

I've been looking for a music class for my daughter to take this fall!  Can you tell me more about the activities (we'd be in the 12-18m class)?  How does it compare to kindermusik (it's a bit more expensive).  Do the sessions fill up quickly?

Thanks!

I'm sorry I've never been to a Kindermusic class, but I can tell you that the teaching artists that Wolf Trap uses are all professionals (maybe that's why the classes cost a little more - they pay the artists fairly well for their expertise).  They have free snacks, juice, Starbucks coffee and water in a room to enjoy before class so you can mingle with other parents.  You also get a tote bag with a childrens book, a few simple rhythm instruments and a CD of songs - all of which may be why it's a little more $$.

The session I signed up for did fill up quickly, in fact they put me on a waiting list but then I got in.  But that was a weekend class - since I work FT I didn't have a choice of the weekday/daytime classes - I'm not sure if those fill up as quickly.

Thanks for the info!  We'd be interested in the weekend class too.  I assume it's singing, "playing" instruments, etc.?  The website provided a more high level overview of the course.  Thanks again!!

Whoops, too late, class is already full!

 

Thanks again for the info!
