Summer Mini Music with Shannalee Classes

I’m so excited to team up with other teachers and local businesses here in Missoula—and even on the road this summer! In our classes, grown-ups get to explore music alongside their babies and toddlers, discovering songs, dances, and rhymes together in a warm, supportive group. Each session is 30 minutes of musical fun, followed by 15 minutes of playtime. Some classes are free thanks to our amazing sponsors, while others welcome donations. Thank you so much for supporting Mini Music with Shannalee and helping keep the music alive!

    You don’t have to be a professional musician in order to gain the benefits of music with your family! Learn from a trained music educator (BME K-12) and vocalist, Shannalee Baird, how to connect with your baby through music while meeting other families in our community. Shannalee uses instruments, puppets, scarves, and more to provide engaging and research-based music classes to the Missoula area. She will have you singing, dancing, and rhyming with songs that the whole family will love and use at home daily.

    With an intent to “feel and enjoy the music in our bodies,” Kate Jordan Augusto is joining us (partnering with Shannalee) for this workshop. Kate will layer spirally, wavy movements, breathing and imagery throughout the musical experience. Kate is a certified GYROKINESIS® movement teacher, dance educator, and Missoula Momma of an eccentric 4 year old girl.
