Music By The Season
Park and St Joseph H2T 2P7 Montreal, QC, Canada

Hello! My second mini-session for Westmount Library is up and watchable at: https://youtu.be/cBMJbGfnYd4 I'm singing about the honeybee, the earthworm and the garden :)

Hi everyone! I'm doing a monthly Spring online series for the Westmount Library and we premiered today! This beautiful place was my childhood library and is probably the reason I love books and libraries so much. I am so happy to collaborate with them. You can watch my April mini session below. I'm singing about rain (appropriate for today!), growing plants from seeds, and maple syrup production!

Spring is here and with it comes new online Music By The Season (est. 2013) classes for kids designed for the Spring season! This Spring I will be offering Morning Music classes (up to age 5) on Tuesday and Saturday mornings as well as Homeschool Music classes (ages 5-8) which will be returning on Wednesday mornings. Find out more about me and Music By The Season classes at: www.musicbytheseason.com. Photo by Kennedy Brideau (2020)

CALLING YOUNG HOMESCHOOLERS! Starting this Wednesday I'll be teaching a weekly online music class for kids from kindergarten to grade 2. We will be singing season-appropriate songs, learning to read music on the recorder (flute-a-bec), and composing our own music! More info at www.musicbytheseason.com. Feel free to write in below with any questions :)

Happy new year, friends! Winter music classes will be starting up the week of January 11th, 2021. Check out the full list of online classes at: musicbytheseason.com. In addition to my group classes for children up to five years old & caregivers, and private lessons in guitar and piano, I will also be offering music classes for homeschooling 5-8 year olds and a few different things through the Preville Fine Arts Centre online (centrepreville.org).

This year The McDades weren’t able to play their regular Christmas series in Edmonton so we made a video instead. Check it out :)

Hi, I will be doing an online pre-holiday mini session for the month of December starting tomorrow! Four Tuesday morning classes for children up to age five with caregivers from December 1st to 22nd. We will be singing about the upcoming winter season as well as well-known and lesser-known holiday songs from different traditions. I hope you can join us!

Attention Westmount Library members! This coming Thursday morning from 10:30-11:15 I'll be doing a fall/winter music class for kids from 2-5 years old on Zoom through the Westmount Library. I hope some of you can join us! Classes are free but you have to be a member (and register on the following form:) https://docs.google.com/.../1FAIpQLSd9kKoHC7arM2.../viewform

My first time teaching in a church! This fall I have been running a nature/music program for kids called River Music through the Preville Fine Arts centre. We have been holding classes outside up until now and are doing the remaining few classes in this lovely space full of stained glass windows. The online winter class schedule will be announced soon.

Here’s a little video about the camp I worked at online last summer and a song I wrote for the kids to work on. It was a real team effort and it turned out great! Preville, normally an in-person community fine arts program, has been offering classes online since last summer. The winter schedule is coming out soon: https://centrepreville.org/

It's a different kind of fall session this year for Music By The Season, but I must say I have been delighted to have to teach my nature music classes outdoors. Here are some pics from our absolutely ideal and incredibly picturesque leafy classroom on Mount Royal. Thank you to the sun and the trees and the leaves and all the people, big and little, who made these Fridays extra special.

Hi everybody! Join me and Mr. Tree for this year's fall session! We will be singing about things like leaves changing colour, falling off the trees and then rustling under our feet, the weather getting cooler, animals preparing for the cold part of the year, apple and pumpkin picking and collecting nuts like acorns and chestnuts. I have been happily teaching online and in person outdoors since mid-September. My full fall schedule can be found on my web site (see below). ... In a "nut-shell," I am offering weekly morning classes online, a new online before-bed class in the early evening, weekly classes on the mountain until it gets too cold, and a new River Music program (for ages 6 months - 4 years, and 5-7 years) in conjunction with the Preville Fine Arts Centre in St Lambert that will be held partly outdoors and partly indoors and will be starting this coming Saturday. www.musicbytheseason.com https://www.centrepreville.org/music/
