💛 GIVING TUESDAY 💛
Today, we’re reflecting on why this work matters so deeply.
Every week, our musicians and teaching artists bring live, joyful, developmentally aligned music into classrooms, shelters, Head Start programs, and community spaces across NYC.
And every week, we see moments like these:
A toddler in a Head Start classroom who finds focus tapping a drum.
Newly arrived migrant children smiling and beginning to dance during a shelter concert.
Families singing together — in English and Spanish — during our bilingual classes.
An educator sharing, “This is the only time my class breathes together.”
These moments are why the @littlemozartfoundation exists — to make music accessible, inclusive, and transformative for all children.
In addition to our regular Mozart for Munchkins concerts and classes, the Little Mozart Foundation brings free and deeply subsidized programs to underserved communities across NYC.
This year, these programs reached hundreds of children and families.
If you believe in this mission, we’d be grateful for your support this Giving Tuesday.

This Thanksgiving Week, remember: gratitude isn’t just a feeling — it’s a physical change in the brain.
When we listen to music together, the body releases oxytocin — the bonding hormone that strengthens trust, empathy, and emotional safety. It’s one reason humming while you cook, or singing on the way to Grandma’s, feels like love made audible.
💛 Try this sometime this week:
Play ONE calm song — during breakfast, before bed, or while traveling — and take turns naming something you’re grateful for.
It does not need to be formal.
Just one song.
One breath.
One shared moment of thanks.
What song feels like gratitude to you? 🎶💛

✨ Last August, @nora_fox lit up @hudsonyards — little voices shouted “brava,” families clapped mid‑aria, and the music kept soaring. The cheers came early, but the magic was still unfolding.
🎶 This Saturday, Nov 22 at 10:30am, Nora brings that same sparkle to @ghmusicschool with our Jazzical concert. Opera meets jazz, play meets wonder — crafted for kids, unforgettable for grown‑ups.
Come laugh, listen, and let your family be swept up in the joy of live music.

Big feelings need big beats! Fast, upbeat songs help kids (and grown-ups) channel excitement into motion, not chaos.
✨ Try this: Use one “go-time song” for mornings or transitions. When it starts, everyone knows — time to move! Over time, the song itself becomes a cue for rhythm and routine.
Flight of the Bumblebee is a favorite to get everyone moving—FAST!

Anger doesn’t have to mean outbursts — it can mean energy.
Music gives kids (and parents!) a safe way to express frustration, stomp it out, and find their rhythm again.
✨ Try this: Make a “mad song” with clapping or drumming. Name the feeling out loud, then let the beat carry it away.

Happy World Piano Day! 🎹
At Mozart for Munchkins, we see every version of piano magic:
the jazz jams that send kids twirling,
the classical rhythms that spark claps and giggles,
the tiny fingers discovering their first notes,
and the occasional unicorn pianist who steals the show.
Behind all of it is what we love most:
play, curiosity, and connection.
Whether it’s two notes on repeat or Flight of the Bumblebee at full volume, piano music lights up the brain—strengthening attention, memory, creativity, and joy.
Here’s to the musicians, the mini-musicians, and the magical moments in between.
🎹💛

When attention wanders, rhythm can bring it back. 💫
Research shows that steady beats help regulate the brain’s timing system — improving focus and working memory.
✨ Try this: Before homework, tap your heartbeat or “lap drum” for 30 seconds — left, right, left, right. Feel how rhythm settles the body and resets attention.
🎶 Tiny rhythms, big focus shifts.
What song helps your kids focus?

Happiness has a rhythm — laughter, footsteps, singing in the kitchen.
Families that share music create shared joy: it releases dopamine (the brain’s “feel-good” chemical) and strengthens connection.
✨ Create a “family happy playlist.” Let each person choose one song that always brings a smile, and play it while getting ready in the morning or dancing after dinner.
