This post and giveaway is being sponsored by Music With Maddy, but this is the sort of thing I would naturally be encouraging my local friends to do with their kids. All opinions are my own.
When my kids were little, I took them each to a community center where, among other things, they got to participate in singing time with one of the most fabulous people I have ever known. I miss her. Just thinking about Mary and the songs we sang together gets me nostalgic for the good old days when my kids were little.
When I heard about Music With Maddy, a Northern Virginia-based music class, my first impression was that Miss Maddy had that same special glow that Mary used to have. You can tell that Maddy is not only caring and energetic, but she loves what she does. That love always rubs off on the kids.
Maddy teaches kids about music using a hands-on, engaging approach…and registration is currently open for Fall semester (classes begin the week of September 16). Because of Maddy’s special touch with the kids she teaches, her classes fill up quickly! Find out when classes are taking place during the Fall 2013 semester and Register today!

About Music With Maddy classes:
Maddy’s Music Together® semesters are comprised of 10 weekly, 45-minute classes. All classes are made up of “mixed ages” – ie, kids ages infant through 4 years old. Babies 9 months & younger are free with a registered sibling. Music Together is a community of families sharing songs, instrument play, movement, dance, and rhythm activities in a musically rich, relaxed and playful setting.

Thank you Lolli for a wonderful write-up of my Music Together classes. It has been my profound pleasure to offer classes in Falls Church for the past 13 years. I LOVE my families and children (and their grandparents, aunts, uncles, siblings and whoever else is in town!).
I also enjoy your site. Thanks for the fine job you do for moms in Northern Virginia.
