About the class
This class is active and jam-packed with children and folk songs.
Together we sing, dance, twirl, skip and fly while we experience the joy of making music. During each class children learn the words of simple songs, anticipate the timing of echo songs and glow with excitement during our movement songs. Taking turns and simple role play are all part of this class.
Children will feel encouraged when parents model these interactions and they happily follow their leads. Language development with an increased vocabulary is naturally absorbed by young children, and the rhythmic beat of clapping and stomping guides our breathing.

Class FAQ
We ask that you notify us at least 10 days in advance of a class if you need to cancel your registration. You may cancel by phone or email and we will gladly offer you a refund or credit toward a future class. If you cancel with less than 10 days’ notice, we will not be able to provide refunds, due to our contractual obligations and material purchases for each class.
Sometimes, the Sonoma Community Center has to cancel a class due to low enrollment or unforeseen circumstances, such as a natural disaster or health emergency. If this happens and we do not offer a reschedule date, you will be refunded 100% of your registration fee (minus the payment processing and services fee), or credit towards a future class. If we are able to offer a reschedule date but you are unable to make the new date, we will gladly offer credit towards a future class.
All credits must be used within 1 year.
