Here at Wholesome Harmonies we love, love, LOVE the library! We have been partnering with the Miami-Dade Public Library System since 2010 to offer Baby Rock, Toddler Rock, and Rockin' & Readin' at the Library. Now that I've moved up north to Pennsylvania, I'm partnering with the Adams County Library System to offer these same [...]
Yesterday, was a literal dream come true for me! I got to facilitate Rockin' and Readin' at the Gettysburg Library in Pennsylvania, where I attended storytime and checked out books as a kid. Talk about coming full circle. My family and I moved back to my hometown in Pennsylvania in 2021, and though I continue [...]
Earlier this week, I was Rockin' and Readin' at the Carroll Valley Library branch in Fairfield, Pennsylvania. The library invited me to lead a session during toddler and preschool story time, and we had a blast! Today, I'm sharing a few ways I turned a typical holiday sing-a-long into an interactive, goal-oriented session for the [...]
Library sessions are some of my favorite to facilitate. I love the calm atmosphere and getting to know the librarians and patrons through our classes. We've been offering Rockin' and Readin', Baby & Toddler Rock and Holidays with Wholesome Harmonies for various branches of the Miami Dade Public Library System since 2010. And recently, we [...]
I recently participated in the Adams County Library's FunFest. Doesn't the name FunFest just sound like a good time? It really was. FunFest is a free event hosted by the library system that celebrates the kick-off of their summer reading program. Community organizations and businesses host vendor booths with activities for children and information for [...]
Last summer, I moved back to my hometown in Pennsylvania and it still feels like a dream come true! My kiddos get to play soccer on the same fields I did, attend the same school I did, and go to the same library where I used to check out Baby-Sitters Club and Goosebumps books (90s [...]
The holidays are upon us, and here at Wholesome Harmonies we are still providing a mix of both in-person and virtual programming. Many of the music therapists on our team are following CDC guidelines and providing in-home, individual music therapy sessions and lessons across South Florida. And many (myself included!) are continuing to offer group [...]
Tomorrow, Friday, September 11th I'll be Zooming in to offer brand new VIRTUAL Rockin' & Readin' sessions for the Miami-Dade Public Library System. Typically, the music therapists on my team and I travel to library branches across the county to offer our program. Now, we're able to offer these sessions virtually, so "virtually" anyone can [...]
In addition to the music therapy services and adapted lessons we offer to children and teens with special needs, there's another side of my business that I love: our developmental music classes. We've been working together with the Miami-Dade Public Library System since 2010 to offer these early childhood music classes at library branches throughout [...]
April was Autism Awareness Month and I had the opportunity to do something I LOVE to do: travel to different library branches throughout Miami-Dade county and lead Rockin' and Readin' music therapy sessions. Rockin' and Readin' is a program I created to bring music therapy sessions to the libraries in our area. Our focus in [...]
