Families enrolled in Spring 2021 classes, please join our private group, Triangle Families Spring 2021. If you've already joined First Notes Triangle Families, you'll still need to join the newer group, because of a technical problem with the ability to live stream. So sorry for the inconvenience! I'll be live streaming a class at 9:30 this morning - hope to see you!

If you've registered for the Spring session with First Notes, send a request to join our group, First Notes Triangle Families!

Hello everybody! Spring classes will start on Saturday, April 17. For the spring, I'm offering limited in person classes on the lawn of the Pittsburgh Center for Arts and Media (formerly PCA), and at PYCO School of Music in Wexford, plus Zoom and Facebook live. General registration will open at 9 AM on Friday, March 26, so please register early, especially if you want one of the in person spaces. The spring session will be 8 weeks long, and prices have been adjusted accordingly.

For our friends in the North Hills, I'm curious about where you are in terms of class situation for the Spring session, starting April 20 in the North Hills (April 17 in the East End). Please indicate the one that you'd be most likely to choose if you're planning on registering for classes. The indoor option would be the recital hall at PYCO School of Music, with masks, no shared "stuff," distanced, everybody on their own family blanket. Doors to the outside would stay open ...with baby gates in place. We're looking for a specific outdoor venue, just can't share yet. We'd still be masked, on our own blankets, etc. If you're not comfortable with either of these choices, rest assured - there will still be zoom and Facebook options. Thanks!

We're planning for the spring session - 8 weeks, starting April 17. We'll be offering a limited number of outdoor classes on the lawn at the Pittsburgh Center for Arts and Media at 1047 Shady Ave. We'll still have Zoom and Facebook Live options. For our friends in the North Hills, please respond to the poll above - we're trying to solidify plans for those classes! I'll post when registration is opening!

Classes start next Tuesday, September 29! Register now! www.mtfirstnotes.com

Do you have a favorite lullaby, either from your memories as a child, or one that you love singing with your child(ren)? This is a photo of my mom with one of her grandchildren - she always sang "My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean" to all of us. It's one of my earliest and best memories. When I had my first child, it was the first lullaby I sang to him.
