The week spent at Baldwin Wallace University in Ohio to re-certify my training in Somatic Voicework(tm) The LoVetri Method was amazing and so worthwhile!

I've been blessed with a growing number of voice students and taking these classes again is a powerful affirmation of the teaching I am blessed to do!

How Music Training Speeds Up Brain Development In Children

New Piano Classes will be offered in the Fall for:

"Sunshine" -- Ages 3 1/2 - 5

"Sunbeam" -- Ages K - 2nd grade

"Moonbeam" -- Ages 2nd - 6th grades

Classes follow the "Music for Young Children" curriculum designed to help create well-rounded musicians who can play piano, read music, feel music, work together -- and just be more "whole" human beings.

Music training during childhood, even for a period as brief as two years, can accelerate brain development and sound processing.

446 E. Camden Ave. https://www.meetwithgod.com/

SATURDAY, May 4th, 7 p.m.

The concert is free and open to the public. A love offering will be collected to benefit the church's mission projects.

See what audience members have to say about the "Who Am I?" concert series which opened on 4/28/19 at the Robbinsville Seventh Day Adventist Church:

“the songs touched my heart and brought tears to my eyes. I have a few friends who have been fighting cancer and other physical disabilities over this past year and the Who Am I theme gave me strength to pray in a different way for them. Thank you for your ministry, Best, MaryB”

The opening concerts Sunday were absolutely beautiful!!!! Everyone loved it!!! Thank you, Sharon

The concert was wonderful and what a great message! We enjoyed all of the youth choirs, but thought the young men were especially good. Congratulations on another great concert season. Judy
