If you've been considering a music class for your little one, try one out next week at Musik Nest in Gilman Village in Issaquah. They're offering free class all week long, from August 30 to September 3. Most classes are designed for kids between 17 months and 3; some are up to age 4.


Check out the time slots and sign up at: http://www.themusiknest.com/Demonstration_class.htm

We're signed up for the Little Ditties Story Time series at the Lake Hills Library with Ms. Jenny and highly recommend it. Each series of classes is based on a theme (food, winter, animals, etc...) and we sing songs, dance, read books, and play instruments. It's actually a lot more fun than other paid music classes that we tried. The ages in class are between 1.5 and 6; my kids are 1.5 and 3.5 and both love it.

She also teaches the same class at the Bellevue Regional Library and you don't have to register for a series, or even sign up in advance. But you have to get there early because it fills up fast.
