HooteNanny is about music, family and community, and the ways in which learning to sing, play and dance can enhance all three. Music is hand selected by nationally renowned folk-rock musicians, Nerissa and Katryna, better known as The Nields. The music is chosen for its accessibility, but also for its musicality and ability to bear repeated listening and singing. Classes are aimed equally at fostering musical children and at encouraging family connections. HooteNanny is all about singing, dancing, playing small instruments and most importantly, indulging the imagination and creativity of the families who participate. 
Play Along Time!
It’s time to sign up for a new session of HooteNanny! Spring is the perfect time to learn some great songs to carry you on your walks in the sunshine. This session has lots of great songs about the sunny weather and getting seeds in the ground. The next session of HooteNanny will begin the first week of April and run through the second week in June. 
We created HooteNanny because we believe that music is one of the best ways to create deep, lasting family bonds. We love to hear stories of how a HooteNanny song has been internalized and rewritten by a family to reflect their family life. One Hoot Mom recently told me that they sing “The monkey and the Mom went to the grocery store” in place of “The monkey and the kangaroo were running in the cold.” It gets that family in and out of the grocery store with a little joy instead of a lot of crankiness.
We also created HooteNanny because we believe that music is a great way to foster a wonderful community. HooteNanny is a place for parents to bond with their children, but it is also a place for grown ups to bond with each other. 
Come join us! Make Music! Make Friends! Make Memories. And it might even make trips to the grocery store a little more fun.
