Mariela's Music Time
Preschools Visits
Music and movement that children truly look forward to!
Each week, I visit several early childhood centers to bring the joy of music and movement to young learners.
Some locations offer bilingual music and movement circles, while others feature a Spanish-only program that explores language through art, rhythm, and creative play.
Every class is designed to develop language, rhythm, body awareness, and cultural appreciation through the use of live instruments, songs, and movement games.
Benefits for children:
• Builds focus, listening, and coordination
• Encourages confidence and self-expression
• Introduces multicultural awareness and bilingual skills
Educators and parents consistently report:
“The children eagerly await music day each week — it’s their highlight of the day !”
Additionally, I collaborate with nonprofit organizations in Oakland and San Francisco, offering bilingual music and art programs on a rotating schedule throughout the year. These partnerships support community-based early learning initiatives, bringing joyful and culturally rich experiences to children and families.
