PLEASE NOTE: IN PERSON WEE FOLK AND PB & JAMMERS CLASSES ARE POSTPONED DUE TO COVID-19. WE ARE MONITORING THE SITUATION AND WILL ANNOUNCE WHEN CLASSES WILL RE-OPEN.
Wee Folk (Recommended Newborn to 24 months)
Wee Folk sessions will continue to introduce gentle sounds to your Wee Folk’s tender ears through sing-a-longs, stories and basic children’s percussive instruments. Parents and caregivers can participate in lullabies and sing-a-longs and help little ones clap along to basic rhythms. Wee Folk classes will also introduce more movement as our little ones become more active.
PB & Jammers (Recommended 2 to 5 years)
Our PB & Jammers will get a hands on experience with some basic instruments including shakers, bells and tambourines. They will learn the fundamentals of rhythm and melody as well as a basic introduction to singing and music theory.
WE ARE PLEASED TO PROVIDE SEVEN VIRTUAL CLASSES WITH MISS ROSIE FOR FREE BELOW:
About The Teachers
Singer and children’s music instructor Molly Hebert-Wilson has degrees in Irish studies and Musical Theater from NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts. An actress, musician, and vocalist, Molly’s vocal styles range from classical to powerhouse belting. Molly imbues Irish, French and English language songs with character and meaning. She is the Director of the Great Groove Band, teaching and preparing children for performance at Philly Folk and other festivals. Molly also performs in the Philadelphia band, Rare Spirits.
Ms. Rachel’s Music Classes have been providing music education in lower income Pre-schools and High Schools in the Greater Philadelphia area since September of 2015. Her articulate style of encouraging children to express themselves through dance, music, and language have inspired many schools in the city to prioritize music in their curriculum where music education is no longer a requirement. She has worked with Music Training Center, The Penn’s Children Center, Girls Rock Philly, CCP (Community College of Philadelphia) Kindercare, Care-A-Lot Learning Center, Miss Marty’s Pre-School, Olney High School, Kensington CAPA, and YouthBuild.
In addition to teaching music, Ms. Rachel is an avid tap dancer and is also an accomplished musician performing solo and with her band Rachel Andie and the V Element at venues around the city and at the 2018 SXSW Festival in Austin, Texas. She also writes catchy and fun original children’s songs.
