Baby & Toddler Classes
We have bells to jingle, castanets to hold and snap, bongos to pat, recorders and violins to play. Children can feel the textures of smooth woodblocks, cold metal triangles, scratchy sand blocks, bouncy balls, and bright maracas. Children can make and explore all different types of sounds -- a ticking clock, a tapping woodpecker, a snapping clam, a rolling bear, a chugging choo-choo, rain and thunder.

Adult Group Classes with Joyce Kouffman
A Special Listening Experience for Adults: How Does Music Speak?
A Phrase-by-Phrase Discovery of The Unaccompanied Cello Suites of J.S. Bach
This class promises to open, augment, and hone our perceptions of music. These complex pieces are like musical labyrinths and can be both clear and ponderous. We will compare Yo Yo Ma’s recordings of these pieces, and, during Joyce’s live demonstrations on cello and classical guitar, the class will explore the music slowly, phrase by phrase, and respond to the ways the music “speaks” to us. All levels of listening experience welcome!
Sundays: 4:30pm to 5:30pm
Session Rate: $180
New 6-week session begins: Spring 2020

Tones Into Silence
This class will be an excellent meditative experience that will build skills in listening in a very focused and yet completely relaxed manner. We will create long tones and follow them into fields of silence. Emphasis will be placed on playing tones followed by silent listening. Scheduling of this class is intended to help us “slow down” at the end of the day or week.
Upcoming Class

No one turned away for lack of funds for classes with Joyce.
