One Mother's Story - Kindermusik & Ella


Kindermusik changed my daughter's personality in an instant.  Ella was a very attached child straight from birth. As soon as someone would even look in her direction she would bury her head in my neck.  Even getting her to accept attention from her own father was a task!

That all changed when we joined Kathy Morrison's Kindermusik class when she was 2 years old.  In an instant Ella became outgoing, giggly and free.  She actually turned into "that child".  You know the one...the one that's running all around the room having a blast while her mother sits shaking her head with her cheeks a bit pink?  Yep - that was me.

We've been in Kathy's Kindermusik class for almost 2 full semesters now and the change in Ella is amazing.  She chitter chatters like crazy now, is fully open to others showing her attention and is just simply an open and fun child.  We play our Kindermusik CDs all the time.  Watching Ella jump, dance, and twirl is such a fantastic sight to see.

Through Kathy's Music, Ella was able to find a part of herself that now allows her to really enjoy her own sense of creativity, musicality and movement.  You can't imagine how happy that makes me as a mother.  I'm so overjoyed to be a part of something I can share with Ella, and in the end create some really fun memories.

Thanks Kathy!!
