We Love Take Note Studio

If you are in our Kindermusik program, you may have noticed our “We Love” theme this month, celebrating the love we have for our studio families and our community.  We want to take this opportunity to inform you of a few things you may not know about us that will make you love us even more; namely, we are a nonprofit organization, which allows us to pursue our mission--nourishing hearts and minds with music for life--beyond our studio doors.

If you are not familiar with the details, being a nonprofit means we operate our organization for a collective benefit as opposed to generating profit for our owners. Simply put, any funds over our operating expenses are used to further our mission. We do this to bring the power of connection through music to a few specific causes we deem exceptionally worthy. 


First, we support the people who make Take Note Studio possible -- our studio families. Each year, we give away thousands of dollars of scholarship funds for Kindermusik, instrument lessons and parenting resources.  If you are interested in learning more about what we have to offer but have trepidation about the cost, don’t let that stop you.  We are happy to talk about our scholarship program!




Next, we offer classes and scholarships for a variety of organizations to share the connective power of music.  Our classes help unlock the brains of those who process language, memory, and motor control differently at the The Down’s Syndrome Association of Wisconsin.  At The Crossing of Manitowoc County we demonstrate how music transcends demographics, economics, age and culture, while parents learn the value of play and connective parenting, and how that has a direct impact on cooperation and calm.  We also offer regular intergenerational music classes at area nursing homes, which provide immense joy for the elderly who are often lonely and isolated.  Watching our grandfriends recall old tunes while witnessing kids becoming more comfortable with the elderly community are just two of the many reasons we offer these classes, and one of the reasons we so adamantly stand behind our mission of music for life. 




Last, we set our sights on the world beyond our community and work with children in Ethiopia and refugee families in Jordan, many of whom live with disabilities or have experienced extreme trauma. Music is a catalyst to help free children from the effects of trauma, while we help train and empower their caregivers with skills to do the essential and challenging work of supporting these children. Though we don’t share the same spoken word, music is the connective and universal language that bridges these life-changing relationships across the world. 




The connective power of music allows us to share all of these wonderful gifts in our classrooms, community, and world beyond. “We Love” our mission, nurturing hearts and minds with music for life, and are grateful for your support as we bring this mission to life.

The Impacts of Music on the Brain

Image
  Brain Development Sometimes in the fun of our weekly classes, it's easy to forget just how life-changing the benefits of music classes are for young children! One of the most significant benefits is in  how music and musical experiences impact brain development  - how the brain is wiring itself to ultimately forming the architecture of the adult brain. A staggering 90% of a child's brain develops by age 5.  Scientific research has underscored that it is the quality of a child's experiences in these early years that shapes how their brains develop and influences their ability to learn and succeed in school... and in life. "Between the ages of one and five, the brain goes through cycles of growth and streamlining, with experience playing a key role in engraving the circuits that will endure." ( TheirWorld Children's Charity article ) But it's not just future academic success that is affected.  The connections needed for many higher-level abilities like...

Masterful Teaching: Crossing the Midline Activities

  Masterful Teaching: Crossing the Midline Activities What is the midline? Think of the midline as an imaginary line down the middle of our bodies from our heads to between our feet Crossing the midline is important because: When children cross the midline, they are using both sides of their brain to coordinate smooth, controlled, complex movement. ‌ It is important to combine movement patterns that cross the body for daily tasks such as reading, writing, and tying shoelaces. ‌ The ability to cross the midline is necessary for tasks that involve both hands, where they work together to do a job... or for playing the piano or violin, for example. ‌ From  Importance of Crossing the Midline "Crossing the midline plays a part in everything we do! Reading, writing, catching a ball, getting dressed, sitting cross-cross-applesauce, play, self-care...everything!" Level 1 criss-cross exercise: Cross right arm to left leg, left arm to right leg. ‌ Level 1 ball play: Have the babies sit ...

It Can Take A Little Time

  It can take a little time... and that's okay! In Kindermusik, we intentionally build familiar routines and rituals into the class to help your child become comfortable and anticipate what comes next. For example, from the very first day, we will always begin and end class with the same two songs - the Hello Song and the Goodbye Song. This signals to your child that class is starting or ending. On average, children need four to six weeks to transition into a new class - even children who have been in Kindermusik before. For some children, it can take a little longer. We're all about the process and not performance here at Kindermusik, and so we just give them all the love, space, and understanding that they need! As time goes on, your child will learn the routine, become familiar with the songs, and look forward to seeing friends from class (and so will you!). Plus, once they become secure in the routines and rituals, the learning and enjoyment really take off! What you can do...
