Join us for the Sticks Song Collection!Your child will love going for a musical ride with "Ridin' in the Car" and "Trot to Grandma's House" this semester.

With 23 songs and chants (plus the Hello Song and Goodbye, So Long, Farewell, of course!), you'll have lots of new songs and chants to keep the music going all winter long!
Tuition includes a digital download of our Sticks Collection recording, a CD (optional), a beautiful, child-centric songbook, full of colorful illustrations for each song as well as informative tidbits for grownups. You'll also have access to online resources, such as downloadable songs, bonus activities, music notation, and more!
Winter “Sticks” Song Collection
Tuition includes:
Classes are for ages 0-5 years with a caregiver. Children will learn basic music competence through song, dance, and instrument play, setting the foundation for a lifetime love of music. Adults will enjoy letting loose with their little music maker(s), while fostering new friendships within the community. Ms. Kat met some of her best friends while attending Music Together classes. You can too! :)
Space is limited.
While I will be doing all I can to reduce the risk of virus exposure, there is still some risk to attending in-person class, and families will be asked to sign a waiver accepting responsibility for this risk.
Tuition is $160. Siblings are $55 for the first child, and $35 for each additional. Children under eight months at the start of the semester are free with a paid sibling.
Tuition is non-refundable. Due to limited class sizes, in-person makeups are not guaranteed. Ms. Kat will make two recorded videos to view in case of absence. In the event that there are not enough families signed up to run a class, you will be given the option to switch classes, or get a full refund.
Instruments will be provided by Ms. Kat, and will be disinfected with a non-toxic, foodsafe cleaner. There are also quality instrument sets available for purchase through the shop's website (Lakeside Music), if you wish to bring your own instruments, or have some for jamming at home. The purchased sets will be given out on the first day of class.

Who is the face behind Music Together with Lakeside Music?
Meet Ms. Kat.
I am “Mama” to three little jammers. My husband is my best friend, and the absolute greatest dance partner. We live in Port Washington with our rescue pup, Banjo.
I have been making music since the age of five, starting with piano. I took a pause as I navigated my way through early adult life, but then about ten years ago, I decided to have my old acoustic restrung at the local music shop. The owner of the shop restrung my guitar, and my heart, and now we have two small music shops (Lakeside Music - Port Washington & Sheboygan), three beautiful kids, and a crazy puppers named Banjo. We also just added a coffee shop to our Port shop (Banjole’s Brews).
I have been leading Music Together classes for almost four years. First out of my Port shop, then virtual, and now indoors/outdoors in Cedarburg. Combining music with nature has been a remarkable experience. Being outside is definitely my happy place. Hiking, camping, gardening, exploring new places, kayaking, walking, birding… I love it all. That being said, outdoor classes definitely are my jam, but I do love being back in an indoor classroom as well. :)
Why did I start leading classes?
Community. It is all about community. With my son, I had some severe postpartum depression. My husband was diagnosed with NHL (cancer) when our little dude was three- months old. This was a tumultuous time for our family. When we were able to “come out of our cave” as I will call it, Music Together was one of the first activities we did. It was, and is, amazing. Five years ago, my son and I met some of our best friends in these classes.
Long story short, music heals. Music brings people together. Music lets people express themselves. My music classes promote being silly, having fun, letting loose, making friends, sharing laughs, all while learning basic music competence. The classes give you 45 minutes (or 55 minutes as my time management skills can be way off…I can get carried away when having a good time…😂) of time spent with your little person(s), with no technology, no looming work deadlines, no piles of laundry in sight…
Just you and yours having fun, building community, and setting your child off on the right path to developing a lifelong love for music.
Ok. Ok. I ramble.
Oh. And I am in my last semester of grad school pursuing a master’s on the family nurse practitioner tract. I aspire to have my own practice after graduation, helping families find their personal path to wellness. I have a special place in my heart for home hospice. I hope to see patients from newborn to end-of-life, in my office and in their homes. When I was a home hospice nurse, all of my patients received music therapy. Music heals on so many levels. 🌱
I do still plan on leading music classes after graduation, because I cannot imagine life without Music Together. Teaching is my outlet. My happy place. There is not much better in life than starting the day making music with you and yours!
