Registration for Music for Toddlers Fall Session opens in August!
Hi, I’m Chris Krouse, aka Miss Chris. I am living the dream teaching music to children ages 10 months to 5 years old.
After many years working for the non profit and private sectors, and staying home to raise my son, I went back to work teaching music at Wesley United Methodist Preschool. As a life long music lover with a special skill for entertaining children, this job was instantly meaningful and fun.
Looking for more teaching opportunities led to me hosting “Little Music Makers” at the Vienna Community Center and to a teaching position at Holly Brook Montessori School. I also started laying the groundwork for my new venture “Music With Miss Chris," where I continue to create and perform fun, entertaining and educational music lessons for kids.
Fun Facts about Miss Chris:
I volunteered at children’s hospital taking the “Humor Cart” from room to room entertaining children
My favorite children’s book is “Where the Sidewalk Ends” by Shel Silverstein
My favorite children’s album is “Really Rosie” by Carol King
My family sings Broadway Show tunes on family road trips
I love to cook, garden, read, take long walks and take family bike rides

Building the most fundamental music skills for babies and toddlers, we will sing, bounce, clap, move and explore simple instruments. Our youngest kiddos learn through repetition, so we will revisit some of the same songs each week.
