SUMMARY:Private & Semi-Private Music Lessons for Kids
DESCRIPTION:Private/Semi-Private lessons are offered to kids 12 yrs and under on recorder\, guitar and/or keyboard.  Lessons will be scheduled on Mondays or Tuesdays (after other scheduled music courses taught by Steve\, generally after 5pm).  \nThese lessons will help young beginners build a strong foundation for more advanced studies on any of these instruments. \nCareful listening and musicianship skills are emphasized. Fourth and fifth-grade recorder students will gain a solid foundation that will allow for rapid progress upon selecting band instruments in sixth grade. \nLessons are reasonably-priced and conveniently located in the center of Harvard. The ability to group kids into semi-private lessons offers the opportunity for middle-low income families to participate in quality music education.  \nSteve Peisch has taught music at several schools\, including the New England Conservatory\, Deerfield Academy\, Lawrence Academy\, The Indian Hill Music School (now called the Groton Hill Music Center) the Bromfield School\, and Hildreth Elementary School. \nMost recently\, he has focused on providing excellent and enjoyable music classes for the youngest elementary school age children\, having learned from first-hand experience that providing a strong foundation at this level will strengthen the music programs that follow in both middle and high schools. \nPeisch is committed to developing curiosity and creativity in young people\, to sequencing instruction carefully and in conversation with other music teachers\, to broadcasting high expectations in music and other arts classes\, and to encouraging music students to make connections with other subject areas. \nPeisch’s music is available on his website\, http://hundredsrecords.com/index.html\, and his recommendations for arts educators can be found on his company’s website\, http://www.newdirectionsinartseducation.com/ \nContact Peisch at stevepeisch2@gmail.com with questions\, pricing information and to register.

SUMMARY:Village Nursery School -  Children's Art Show
DESCRIPTION:Village Nursery School (VNS)\, located in Harvard\, MA\, is a small\, private\, non-profit preschool educating children ages 2-5.  We focus on a child-centered approach and plan our curriculum around literature and children’s books.  Teachers thoughtfully plan their art projects from the inspiration they get from the wonderful books their classrooms focus on. \nVNS has a long standing tradition of displaying the artwork that the students create throughout the year.  This art show has evolved over the years\, first beginning with a famous artist unit in a pre-k classroom.  It soon became a school-wide event with all the classrooms displaying artwork for families to see. Most recently\, it was an outdoor art walk around the VNS property.   \nWe are thrilled to be showcasing the children’s artwork at Fivesparks this year. We hope you enjoy viewing this amazing work created by our 2-5 year old students. \nOpen to the public Tuesday-Thursday\, May 14-16 during Fivesparks Open Hours (10am-4pm).
