Not Its Coming to Wallingford

Sarah Shannon, lead singer of the Seattle famous kids rock band The Not-Its! writes:

downloadThe Not-Its! are coming to Wallingford!

This time they’re doing something a little different. Seattle’s kindie rockers have developed a pre-k music and movement class called Rockaboo. This 10 week series will be lead by lead singer Sarah Shannon and held in the heart of the hood and The Wallingford Boys and Girls club starting Jan 9.

Rockaboo was developed by Sarah (a Wallingford mom who can boast serious indie cred as lead singer of 90’s Sup Pop artist Velocity Girl, along with training in classical music at The University of Maryland) and guitar player Tom Baisden (a special education teacher at a arts immersion elementary school).

The mission of Rockaboo is to enrich children’s lives and connect families through music and movement. The science is indisputable, music boosts brain development. In this class (with a maximum of 12 children plus their caregivers) children will learn about dynamics (loud/soft), pitch (high/low), and tempo (fast/slow). Most importantly, in Rockaboo, families will revel together in the joy of music!

I didn’t realize the Not-Its shared Sarah with the Velocity Girl. And Caspar Babypants is Chris Ballew of the The Presidents of the United States of America.

I sense a pattern.
