Kathleen, with the help of an electronic keyboard synthesizer and recorded music, will facilitate a variety of musical experiences for the children and their families at the Pittsfield Library. These include playful rhythm chants, lap songs, songs involving large movement, simple props and instruments, dance and an instrumental play along. Children and their caretakers will be inspired to sing, move, invent simple song content and mostly play, relax and have a great musical time!
