MusicalMe: Nurturing Musical Growth from Birth On
D
id you know that babies in their mother’s womb can already hear sounds projected by the mother? And that’s not even according to modern science – that’s according to ancient Yoga Wisdom. Babies can enter the world not
only knowing their mother’s voice, but also knowing songs their mothers sang or danced to while pregnant. “When we say ‘a musical life begins at home’, we mean it!” says Lizz Hodgin Weihrauch, Director of MusicalMe, Inc.
Apple Homes Grand Opening
Congratulation to Chris Perri of Apple Homes on the Grand Opening of the Terrace at Scotts Valley! 12 / March 2020 / Scotts Valley Times www.tpgonlinedaily.com
Lizz further adds, “Whether in the womb or out, young children learn through experiences, so it’s important to understand that the activity linked to the music also plays a major role. For example, lively happy music linked to smiles and laughter will help the child to connect positively and meaningfully to the music.” Early stimulation for your newborn is so important. Every experience enhances their synapses and builds their brain structures, and nothing more so than music. This is why MusicalMe now offers free Music Together® and Canta y Baila Conmigo™ classes to all babies up to four months old. The early years of childhood is a period of rapid brain development. Researchers believe that the earlier a child experiences music, the more rhythmic integration, movement, and learning can help to strengthen the brain. MusicalMe’s research-based programs are designed to make the most of these early years – birth
to age six – and to not only impact parts of the brain related to planning and motor skills but full stimulation of the brain, engaging both its left and right sides. MusicalMe’s Early Childhood Music & Movement programs are uniquely designed to nurture, refine, and support young children’s musical growth & development through songs, musical stories, percussion instruments and expressive movement. Free preview class available or register now for classes offered throughout Santa Cruz & Santa Clara Counties. www.musicalme.com

t The Camp, we believe that recovery is more than just putting an end to addictive behavior. Instead, it requires creating a new lifestyle filled with fresh insights, enhanced coping skills and a renewed sense of selfconfidence and self-worth. Our approach to treatment is based on respect and compassion, with a strong emphasis being placed on the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health of the adolescents and adults who engage in our treatment programs. “We couldn’t be more thrilled with our new partnership with the Scott’s Valley Chamber of Commerce, and the opportunity to connect with the local business community. Addiction knows no boundaries. Our caring, compassionate team at The Camp is Jen Carvalho here for you and your loved ones,” said Jen Carvalho, CEO of The Camp. Those who seek treatment at The Camp are ensured that they’ll receive the customized care necessary in order to
help them not only achieve sobriety, but maintain it for the long-term.
