Need something for the whole family? Mixed Age classes are designed for little ones at different developmental levels to make music together. Families build connection, grownups learn ideas for music exploration and play at home, and there’s room for everyone to grow.

Sometimes, the best learning happens when we’re all together. Mixed age classes allow families with siblings, neighbor groups of varying age levels, and anyone who’s drawn to the time slot to attend. Educators accommodate powerful and enjoyable music and movement activities for all stages of development, so that everyone is comfortable, engaged, and learning!

Kara Spector has been a local music educator for over 20 years. She graduated with honors from Northwestern University with a BM in Music Education and a BA in Creative Writing, and later received her MAEd in Gifted Education from Northestern Illinois University. While at NU, Kara was conductor of the SAI Music Fraternity for Women's Beta Chapter Choir (where she was both a Sword Of Honor recipient and College Honor Award Recipient), and the assistant conductor of the Cantores Minores Chicago Boys Choir. Her career began with a decade as a public school music, language arts and gifted education teacher. During this time, Kara also fostered her passion for teaching and performing in musical theatre and has since enjoyed a long standing relationship with Big Deal Productions where she frequently works as a music director and choreographer in children's musical theatre productions and Broadway bound camps (sometimes you can even catch her onstage!) Kara also maintains a private voice studio of over 30 talented young and adult singers from across the Northshore. Her Kindermusik journey began when Miss Cathy, a friend from the community theatre scene, invited Kara and her new babies to class, and the rest, as they say, is history. She is delighted to bring the joy of Kindermusik to you and your children.
In every Kindermusik class, you’re welcomed into a playful and nurturing environment where your child will experience music of varying styles, genres, and cultures. They’ll interact with other children and engage in movement, rhythm, and vocal activities that develop far more than just music skills. Our approach to early childhood education and award-winning, research-based, and developmentally appropriate curricula prime children for success in school and in life.
