"My daughter has taken Music Together classes with Teacher Pam since she was 4 months old. Sylvie has blossomed with Pam's gentle, nurturing nature and I have learned so much about music through her teachings. Teacher Pam has a wonderful balance of being able to connect with children, along with a beautiful voice and talented musical ability which I found inspirational. We listen to her CD's literally every day."

Music Together is an internationally recognized early childhood music program for infants, toddlers, preschoolers, 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.

Pam Donkin's Children's Chorus
Singing • Movement • Kazoo • Percussion • American Sign Language
(Grades K-3)

Now in its 24th year at Las Lomitas! Pam Donkin’s Children’s Chorus is open to all grades. Fall semester will include musical activities that will be help develop musical skills without the pressure of performance. Spring semester we will prepare songs for performance which will be a the end of Spring semester. Skills will include rhythm, by playing spoons and learning rhythmic patterns, inner-hearing by playing kazoo, ear training from learning tonal patterns, concentration by singing rounds and two-part songs, and learning how to blend voices. Activities will be developmentally appropriate for the lower grades, while challenging enough to keep the interest of the 2nd and 3rd graders, and above all, have fun with music! Studies reveal the importance of the ability to keep a steady beat and its link to a child’s linguistic development. New participants, and any returnees who have lost props, will receive a kazoo and spoons.

Chorus meets Tuesdays in Cano Hall from 3:35 to 4:20 pm. There are no auditions required. Chorus is open to all grades, including Kindergarten.

Kindergartners encouraged: Kindergartners are encouraged to join chorus, and participate at their individual level of development. Hand motions and American Sign Language will be led so that the children will always know what to do. Kindergartners are not required to do any more or less than what feels comfortable for them, making chorus a positive group musical experience for them.

Third Graders: Third graders will have the opportunity to play percussion instruments, sing solos or duets, and mentor the younger members of chorus.

Parents are always welcome to attend class.
