Celebrate the beauty and music of the seasons with your family, during our FALL-Oh Me! Playdates, and throughout your days together.

  • Have a song you sing together on a blustery day,
  • explore the wonders of seasons through music and play.
  • Kick up your heels with a family dance,
  • Through falling leaves and drifting snow we will prance.

Bring your whole family to participate together.  Both parents, and even grandparents are welcome.    Dress up in seasonal wear, and let the photo session develop among loads of colorful decorations and props.

The music and activities are designed to bring out the best in all of us, young and old,  as we learn new ways to interact with each other through music, increasing our emotional connections to each other, and connecting with other families as a small community.  The more you get involved, the more you feel like part of our family as well !
Playdates are unique individual events
one Saturday of each month.
.
Families can enroll for one, more, or all different themes of our Playdates in the Fall of 2020.

The Themes are the same for both events on the same day, and the activities are adapted to be age appropriate for each age group.

Which of these make you think…. “OH, I have GOT to bring my family to that one!”

August – Camp OUT!  

During August 2020 – the studio was closed. But look forward to it returning next year.

Families enjoy camping teamwork activities as we set up camp, then head out to gather wood for the fire, hike along nature trails, enjoy finger plays about little critters we find, go fishing by the bay, create camp kitchen family jams and sing songs around our “campfire”.

Typically, this is all indoors at my Kindermusik room on South Florida Ave. in Lakeland,  and all accompanied by music.  I’m crazy, maybe, but not joking.  Learn more in this Camp Out! article.

 

September – Hoedown Hootenanny

During September 2020 – we enjoyed “Mira, Royal Detective”. But look forward to it returning next Fall.

Yee-haw… With September welcoming a bit of cooler weather down here in Florida, we invite our friends for a chance to kick up our heels and make some heartwarming folk music together.

Dress up in your best farm wear and get ready to kick up your heels in our barnyard dance. Dulcimers and Guitars and Banjos, oh my!

Our indoor “adventure” has us starting at the barnyard, where hay bales, stuffed farm animals, and stringed instruments set the scene and invite exploration and animal pretend play… and photo opportunities !!!.

 

October – Pumpkin Party

Fall 2020 – Scheduled for Oct. 31
.
Explore different sizes of real pumpkins, and pumpkin alternatives to get a real feel for sizes and weights.  Ms. Debbie makes the reading of “The Biggest Pumpkin Ever” by Steven Kroll an interactive event.  We make instruments out of pumpkin seeds,  and musically “grow” a pumpkin garden.  Children enjoy lap bounce, finger plays and dances about pumpkins, jack-o-lanterns, scarecrows and more.  Nothing scary.   Crafts included.  Pumpkin wear and/or costumes are encouraged.  This is the 8th year I’ve been doing this, and it just keeps getting better every year !  I’ve got the stuff… but YOUR FAMILY is what brings it to life !

 

November – Frolicsome Fall

Fall 2020 – Scheduled for Nov. 14
.

“Autumn leaves are falling down, falling, falling, falling down.”  – literally, in our classes, child safe fabric leaves will be falling down, just ready for frolicsome play and delightful pictures.  We also celebrate many other icons that put the AWE in Autumn, including migrating birds, and Native American songs and instruments.  Enjoy the “Duck Dance” rhythms through drums and dance !   Take some fun props home with you to extend the fun.

December – Winter Wonderland

Fall 2020 – Scheduled for Dec. 12

“Cold winds blow, and bring us snow…”   Hahahaha  –  YES, even here in Central Florida!   It is our own brand of snow play that is not so cold, but still mounds of white delights. Explore the many of the ways you can enjoy the snow, and even make your own snow for extending the fun at home.   We dim the lights for a nighttime snowfall, then rise with the lights to make snow angels, shuffle around and engage in a variety of musical snow play,  Then the snow gets cleared by our active little zambonies, and we skate around on the ice to the “Skater’s Waltz”.    Follow the event on our FB Page, for more details, and to see the treasures revealed that you will take home.

We LOVE joining Ms Debbie and our friends with both our girls to celebrate the seasons in musical style!
