The sound of music fills the MI on Tuesday and Thursday mornings.  Valley Music Together is a wonderful program for children from birth to 4 years old.  The classes build on a child's natural enthusiasm for music and movement. 

The teachers help children with basic musical skills needed to enjoy school and social musical activities, and to study an instrument should they choose to do so.  Young children and their parents or grandparents get together to enjoy singing, making music with tambourines, bells, drums, and other child friendly instruments. 

The Valley Music Together teachers are talented music leaders and it's fun to listen to everyone having such a good time together.  The classes are held throughout the year and are usually held on Tuesdays, Thursdays and sometimes even Saturday mornings.  Registrations are needed.  For more information, visit their website  or call Gina Hinkle @ 610-360-1439.

Music is also enjoyed at the MI on Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons.  The MI is a branch campus for Community Music School of Allentown.  Private piano lessons and other instrument lessons are available. 

On Tuesdays, it's great to hear piano teacher Lou Czechowski warm up and play the piano before his students arrive.  Lou is a local, popular jazz musician and he is good! 

On Wednesdays, students come in for lessons with Mary Schatkowski who is a wonderful piano teacher and used to teach music in the public school system.  For information on signing up for music lessons offered at the MI, please call the Community Music School @ 610-435-7725 or visit their website.
