These 2 hour classes will take us deeper into this cathartic, joyful, insightful, and wild Spiritual Movement Practice. The classes will form a series, but can be taken on their own. They will build on the Tasters we have held, but Newcomers are very welcome!
The 5Rhythms® of Flowing, Staccato, Chaos, Lyrical, and Stillness form ‘The Wave’, a simple movement meditation practice that encourages us to find our own dance of embodied feeling and to discover ourselves at our most fluid and creative level, bringing more of ourselves –body, heart, mind & soul- into movement, on the dance floor & out in the world. There are no steps to learn and it can be enjoyed by anyone, regardless of age, fitness, ability, or experience.
Cost: $15 each, $10 students/elders, but no one turned away (Class card will buy 4 for cost of 3).
Please contact Richard with questions at waves.philly@gmail.com.

Free Demonstration Classes!
Saturdays, October, 17, November 7, December 5 & 12, 8:25 to 9:15 a.m.
Music Together® is an internationally recognized early childhood music program for babies, toddlers, preschoolers, kindergardeners, and the adults who love them. First offered to the public in 1987, it pioneered the concept of a research-based, developmentally appropriate early childhood music curriculum that strongly emphasizes and facilitates adult involvement.
Music Together classes are based on the recognition that all children are musical. All children can learn to sing in tune, keep a beat, and participate in the music of our culture, provided that their early environment supports such learning.
A ten-week semester (of which there are three per year) begins in January 9, 2010.
Music Together classes are offered by The Philadelphia Suzuki Piano Academy. For registration and other information, and to RSVP for demonstration classes, please contact icanplay@philasuzukipiano.com or 267.251.0429.
Tuition includes:
- Ten weekly 45-minute classes
- A beautifully illustrated songbook with activity suggestions for parents.
- Two copies of a professionally recorded CD which includes songs, rhythm chants, “play-along” music, and tonal and rhythm patterns — a different song collection for each semester, rotated over three years.
- A Parent Guide DVD for new families called: “Music Together at Home: Helping Your Child Grow Musically.”
- An ongoing parent education program throughout the semester to help parents learn how children develop musically, and how to assess their child’s rhythm and tonal development.
