A 10:15am Thursday Cedarburg class will be added if there is enough interest. Please email me at musictogetherwithkat@gmail.com if you are interested in this class.
Tuition includes:
Classes are for ages 0-5 years with a caregiver. Children will learn basic music competence through song, dance, and instrument play. Space is limited to 9 families.
Outdoor music classes pose the least amount of risk per the current research on singing and aerosols, from the International Coalition of Performing Arts, which is supported by over 125 organizations who want music making to take place safely. 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.
The appropriate COVID precautions will be taken per the ongoing research, CDC, health department advice, and the requirements of the host locations. Families will have their blankets spaced six feet apart. If off of the blanket for a large movement activity, please try to be mindful of your neighbors, and keep space to the best of your ability.
While masks were a requirement for my spring outdoor offerings, they will be optional going forward, unless recommendations change or they are mandated outdoors. All of my spring families voted to remove the mask requirement a few weeks into the spring semester.
Tuition is $110. Sibling rates are: an additional: $40 for the first sibling and $25 for each additional sibling thereafter. Children eight months and under at the start of the semester are free with a paid sibling.
Tuition is non-refundable. In case of inclement weather, classes will be switched over to Zoom. Minimum enrollment of five families must be met for class to run.
Instruments will be provided by Ms. Kat, and will be disinfected after class with a non-toxic, foodsafe cleaner (Benefect) and stored in sealed bins until the next class. 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 sets will be given out on the first day of class. When in-person indoors classes were held prior to the pandemic, many families had asked to purchase some of the goods we used in class to jam with at home - now you can!

Who is the face behind Music Together with Lakeside Music?
Meet Ms. Kat. Please excuse the bedhead…
I am “Mama” to a rambunctious little lady and the sweetest, kindest, coolest first grader (first grade..😳…I still can’t believe it) imaginable. My husband is my best friend, and the absolute greatest dance partner.
I have been making music since the age of five, starting with piano. I stopped making music as I navigated my way through early adult life, but then about nine 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 three small music shops, two beautiful kids, and a crazy puppers named Banjo.
I have been leading Music Together classes for about 2.5 years now. First out of my Port shop, then virtual, and now outdoors at several locations. 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.
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. Four years ago, my son and I met some of our best friends in these classes. His best bud in kinder, he met through MT. Her mama is one of my best friends.
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 this semester were 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 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. 🌱
