Hola! Bienvenidos!

First, a little bit about our program. Música Para Mí was created in 1998 by Graciela Carriquí, a music teacher, singer and composer. While working as a music teacher for young children, she was approached by a pair of bilingual families who had been unable to find any programs in Spanish for their children. They asked her if she could create one and Música Para Mí was born!

Since the first class in the fall of 1998, Graciela has been dedicated to providing a fun and educational music environment for Spanish-speaking, bilingual and hispanophile families in New York City. We currently offer our music classes in a dozen neighborhoods throughout Brooklyn, Queens and Manhattan for babies and toddlers aged 5 months through 3 years. In a Música Para Mí class, children sing traditional Spanish-language songs, play instruments and groove to latin beats along with their adults! Exposure to music and foreign language at such a young age sets the stage for a lifetime of musical and multicultural appreciation, all while having a great time!

We'd like to use this blog to connect with new families as well as keep in touch with our current and former students. In addition to keeping you informed about what's happening at M
úsica Para Mí, we'll also post about topics we think would be of interest to the entire community of families interested in the arts and Spanish education for their children.

For more information on our program, please visit us at www.musicaparami.com. Click here to be our fan on facebook! Also, if you are interested in signing up for a class, but notice that we are not currently offering them in your neighborhood, please let us know! We are always looking for neighborhood support in opening new locations.

Hasta pronto!
