Community Foundation Supports Early Childhood Music

Community Music School has received a $2,000 grant from the Community Foundation of Middlesex County to support the award-winning early childhood program, Kindermusik. Community Music School used the funds to present Kindermusik Pop-Up Days throughout the community during the summer and will offer Kindermusik scholarships for its fall semester.

“We are grateful for the support this year,” said Robin Andreoli, executive director of Community Music School. “More children in our community will benefit from this wonderful early childhood music program thanks to the generosity of the Community Foundation and those who support their efforts.”

The final Pop-Up day took place on Aug. 26 at Community Music School at 90 Main Street, Centerbrook. The 45-minute classes are recommended for ages 18 months to four years and include singing, dancing, and play. Interested families can attend a preview Kindermusik class during the School’s Open House on Tuesday, Sept. 15. Three distinct age-appropriate classes are offered that day: Village Class for kids aged 6 to 18 months old will be at 9 a.m.; Our Time class for kids aged 18 months to three years old will be at 10 a.m.; and Imagine That for kids aged three and four will take place at 11 a.m.
