    I’m part of a network of twin families that are looking to set up 6 weeks of music times for our kids in January. Our kids range in age from 18-21 months and we all live in West Seattle. For me, as a parent of toddler twins more formal programs such as Kindermusic are impossible to attend as there are two of them and only one of me to control the chaos. Plus, the cost for two tends to be prohibitive. So, a few of us families are looking to band together and set something more informal up to expose our kids to music and allow for some interactive time for our budding socialites.

    Here are the logistics so far: We are hoping to find someone for Wednesdays at 10am. Probabaly 30-40 minutes per week. We are hoping to schedule 6 weeks beginning in January. So far we have 6 families committed and would love to pay about $10 per family/week or $60 for 6 weeks – this would be about $360 for the musician’s pocket total. This fee is negotiable however.

    The right musician doesn’t need to have an arsenal of kids songs but know some music to keep them engaged, have appropriate lyrics, and allow them to clap or bang along is all that we are looking for. Also, any interested musicians need to meet a couple of the parents ahead of time to make sure we have found someone appropriate to hang with our kids, and further discuss logistics and expectations.

    This should be a blast for all involved! If interested please email carknee@hotmail.com.

    Thanks and Happy Holidays

    Hi Rudy,

    I can highly recommend a guitarist based out of West Seattle named Kathleen Voss, MT BC. Her company name is “The Music Seed”, and I’ve alerted her to your post.

    She is professional, fun, talented and effective (she’s been providing music therapy to my autistic son for over a year now).

    If you don’t hear from her soon, feel free to contact her. Her website is: http://www.themusicseed.com and her e-mail is themusicseed@gmail.com.

    Again, I enthusiastically recommend her.
