Winter Semester 2014

Winter Semester 2014 starts this week on the 9th and 11th January.

There is one place left in the Thursday class, and five left in the Saturday class. So please register now if you are interested.

We have some new cute maracas for the play along basket “woof” And “ribbet” 🙂 And a fun new Singalong Storybook for the song ‘Ridin’ in the Car’.

I look forward to seeing you all and singing and dancing away the cold this winter.

Rock on!

Baby Girl

Hello. My baby girl was born on 16th July, weighing 3872g measuring 53cm.
Her name is Rose Marie Ayane Okuma. In Japanese 大熊ローズ彩音. For us, Ayane means different sounds.

She is a very calm baby. When she does cry, if we sing the Hello Song, she soon stops crying! It’s true. She must remember hearing the song so much while she was in my tummy 🙂

東中野のクラスをオープンします! New HIGASHI-NAKANO Class Opens April 2013

Early Announcement – Spring Semester 2013 “TAMBOURINE” Collection

For the Spring Semester 2013 Ochiai Music Together will be opening a
NEW Saturday morning class in Higashi-Nakano. Due to the time of this
class, and the location, we predict that this will be a very popular
class therefore if you are interested in joining, please complete
pre-registration as soon as possible.

I will also be running one or two other classes during the Spring
Semester, but the exact days and locations (Mejiro and Kamiochiai)
have not been decided yet.

All Spring Semester classes (April-June 2013) will be shorter than
normal, running for 8 weeks rather than 10 weeks. This is because I
am pregnant and expecting my second baby in early July, so I would
like to finish working by early June. Thank you for your
understanding. No classes will be held over the summer, but I will be
back in time to teach the Autumn Semester (late Sept/early Oct – Dec
2013).

2013年春タームについて “ タンバリン コレクション”
この度、2013年春タームからOchiai Music
Togetherは東中野に土曜日の朝のクラスをオープンします。日時と場所共に便利で人気になるかもしれませんので、興味がございましたら早め登録をお勧めいたします。
また東中野クラスオープンに伴い、現在次の春タームクラス(上落合と下落合)の日程を調整しております。
春タームのクラスですが、今回のコースは短くなり8週間コースになります。(私の出産予定日が7月の為。通常は10週間。)ご理解の程、どうぞよろしくお願いします。
今後の予定ですが、夏のクラスは休みで、また秋タームに戻ります。

Winter Term Starts Today

Winter Semester began today, 9th January. Welcome back returning
families and hello to new families joining us.

I hope you enjoy your first listen to the CD. I know my daughter and
I always get very excited when we start a new collection. Some of my
favourite songs so far are `Clap Your Hands`, `Rig-a-jig-jig`, and
`Drum and Sing`. What are yours?

Let`s stay warm, and enjoy making music together this winter.

よろしくお願いします

2013 Winter Semester DRUM COLLECTION

Hello Families. Thank you very much for all your support and joining Ochiai Music Together this autumn. I hope you have enjoyed the Fiddle Collection as much as I have. It is always so nice to see you in class, and see over the weeks how your child is developing and experimenting with music making. I hope that you will be able to join us next semester to enjoy the “Drum Collection”, January-March 2013. This semester I can only offer two classes due to small student numbers, the Wednesday morning class in Kamiochiai, and the Sunday class in Shimochiai (which is now moving to an earlier time).

2013年冬タームについて ドラム コレクション

こんにちは。フィドルコレクション に参加してくれてありがとうございました。楽しかったですか?クラスの中でみんなのにこやかな顔が見れてうれしいかったです。子供たちが10週間で行った音楽作りの啓発とその経験 が垣間見れ、すばらしい事だと思いました。来年のドラムコレクション (2013年1月―3月) にぜひ参加してください。次回は上落合の水曜日と下落合の日曜日(もう少し早い時間)のクラス二つだけになります。すみませんが、人数が少ないので今回の木曜日クラスはないです。
