Dear Parents and Families,
St. Andrew’s Music Play is a weekly class for young children, their parents, grandparents, and caregivers. Infants, toddlers, and older siblings are always welcome, especially on school holidays. St. Andrew's Church offers this class free to the community. My name is Patty Creel, and I am teaching this class under the supervision of Dr. Linda Patterson, Music Director of St. Andrew’s. I have adapted this program from First Steps in Music, by John M. Feierabend, and have described my teaching philosophy in a post below. I hope to share the very best children’s songs & hymns, chants & prayers, and movement & games. Together we will pass along your favorites as well.
Wishing you wonderful Music Play at home!
