Come Children Sing Institute
The Come Children Sing Institute has just launched Come Children, Sing! Online Music Classes for infants, babies and toddlers. Moms from all over the world, with or without musical background, can sign up their little ones for an online music class in their own homes, on their own schedules, and make the class portable with an iPod or CD. They do not have to cart baby, diaper bag, stroller, and toddler to class in inclement weather or during naptime, nor miss classes for illness or travel. Come Children, Sing! is based on more than twenty years of research on music learning. Free Sample Lessons are available at www.comechildrensing.com

Homeschool Choir in South Holland, 3rd Tuesday of the Month
We have a small group of homeschoolers that get together and sing every month at Rest Haven South in South Holland, and we could always use extra voices if any homeschoolers are interested.
We sing on the third Tuesday of each month at 2:00 PM. It usually takes about an hour since we "practice" upstairs on the third floor, and then perform on the first floor.
We resume on September 16.
