DESCRIPTION
When Gari Stein brings people together in Song and Dance, music happens! From young to old and in between, a connection is made. In almost no time toes tap, bodies rock, faces glow, voices sing, spirits lift-music happens!

Gari instills a tone of familiarity and community, as she enthusiastically guides groups in music making. A variety of songs, chants, bounces, wiggles, tickles, rocking, tapping, shaking, dancing with ribbons, playing rhythm instruments and lullabies fill the hour for the little ones. Older children are provided with avenues to explore elements of creative movement, activities to develop their listening skills, activities that incorporate drama, literature and art. Activities for adults are geared to fit their specific population.

Always available and fun to do, music is an unmatched teaching tool. Gari provides teachers, caregivers, directors, librarians, therapists and parents with numerous & simple activities, many based in traditional folk music, to help incorporate music and movement everyday into their programs. When applicable, a detailed handout is provided.
