Let's Play Music Symposium 2015

Last month was an exciting one as Let's Play Music and Sound Beginnings teachers from all over the United States arrived in San Diego, CA to share ideas, laughs, and of course some songs!
I was thankful to be able to share some recruiting ideas and get to teach a little about using social media in our studios.
It was a delight to present to this group of educators that I respect and admire, and I was honored to share the stage with Shelle Soelberg, the creator of Let's Play Music!

Symposium 2015  Can you find Ms. Robin?  

Shelle Soelberg and Ms. Robin

I am so refreshed and excited for the upcoming year!  I was able to complete my Sound Beginnings training while in CA and am super pumped to bring back another year of awesome curriculum for 0-4 year olds.  There is math, science, reading, sign language, dancing, singing, instruments, and much, much more!  What an exciting class, still a few spots open, e mail me for details.  

Enjoy the rest of your summer and see you at KIDS DAYS at Centerra on July 21 from 11a-2p and Let's Play Music parent orientation on August 3rd, 5pm-1st year, 6pm, 2nd year and 7pm 3rd years!

April Happenings!

April is a busy month in the Sing Play Music studio!  Registration is now open for next year, there are just a few spaces open for new 1st year students, so if you have friends or family members who are interested, please let me know!

Also, our recital is on April 24th, all 1st, 2nd, and 3rd year students will perform.  Please practice and prepare these next 3 weeks.  We are not a performing group, but do want all the students to feel confident, comfortable, and have fun!  This is an awesome opportunity to show what they have learned.
Also, the hearing was a success!  I was granted a 9 month variance to continue to teach in my home studio, while I try to work with the city and get the code changed.  Thank you to all of the families, community members, and friends for their support.

Enjoy the last few weeks of the semester, I am so thankful for all of you!
Mrs. Robin

Information about the Public Hearing

When I began teaching Let's Play Music in May of 2012, I lived in Loveland.  I began my business in my home there and when we sold our home and moved to Windsor, shortly after (10 minutes away,) I neglected to get my business license for the city of Windsor.  With the chaos of moving during the school year, and running a brand new business, it just slipped my mind, to check if guidelines were different in the new town.
It was brought to my attention on Feb. 27th, 2015 that I needed to update my license for the town of Windsor. I promptly followed up and was filling out the business license application, when I came to the Home Occupation Registration section.  I was able to meet every guideline, except for 1.  The code that states If your business involves tutoring/instruction, will there be more than 2 students in at the home at any one time.  Let's Play Music classes involve teaching 4-8 children at a time, so I marked Yes to this category and called the planning department to ask what I should do.  I was told I am not able to have a business in my home unless I apply for a variance and the board approves it.
There will be a public hearing, on Thursday, March. 26 at 7pm in the Windsor Town Hall, located in the board room on the 3rd floor.
301 Walnut Street
Windsor, CO
Interested citizens are invited to attend and provide comments on this proposal.
I will be presenting on why this small business is not inconveniencing our community and should be supported by the town.
I would love your support in person, if you are able to attend, please join me to show the town of Windsor, Let's Play Music benefits the community!

Library sample class time!

So excited to be part of some music classes at the Loveland Public Library on Monday, March 9 and Thursday March 12 at 10am.  Please join us if you can, bring a friend!
