Arcadia Recreation
"Play-a-Story" is a musical journey in which students travel through a storybook world. It uses the piano as its mode of travel, creating sounds, melodies, harmonies and rhythms to express the story... literally, students create their own musical soundtrack. Using the piano, students learn to interpret mood, color and nuance as the story unfolds. Play-a-Story teaches this by providing a foundational, systematic and creative experience that harnesses children’s intuitive, musical appreciation and interpretation.
A $21 materials fee is due and payable to the instructor at the first class meeting. Materials include a book and a CD. Students need an adult to be present in class, and for playing at home, a piano or a keyboard with pedal. For more information, please email: kindermusikwithmsemily@gmail.com

For one hour each week, Queensland University of Technology's Kate Williams and a team of music therapists would sit on the floor with a group of disabled children under five years old, joined by their mothers.
"We have a guitar and we use our voice ... and bring along a whole lot of instruments that are accessible and motivating," said Ms Williams.
