Class info and Teacher bios

Come join in the fun at Music for Aardvarks classes
- a musical experience for families with children ages birth to 5 years

We will explore music through song & gesture, dance & movement, rhythm training, and instrument play; using original music that celebrates the lives of children growing up in an urban environment.

Written by David Weinstone, songs like Taxi, City Kid, and Subway provide children with a positive image of their world and help them relate to their surroundings.

Musical Genius (former child prodigy) and Founder of Music for Aardvarks -- David Weinstone attended Berklee College of Music, where he studied theory, composition and guitar. He came to New York to pursue a career as a singer/songwriter. He has written and recorded for film, radio and television. David is also a parent and enjoys cookies and milk.

***Our 3-5 year old drop-off class
has become a big hit!!
Audra's Musical Theater Class is back by popular demand! If your older child loves music & drama they will enjoy the theatrical element to this class. This is a class was created specifically for our older students, building on Audra's extensive theater background and successful experience teaching Aardvarks. Through song we will activate our imaginations & re-inact some of our most beloved childhood stories! From The Gingerbread Man to The Wizard of Oz - we are going to act them out with SONG! The result is a creative and dynamic drama class where kids will develop their writing, performing and collaboration skills- resulting in a final performance. Plus, it's fun way for your older kids to stay connected to making music with AudraRox!
