In light of our recent World Autism Day, I wanted to share this video clip from CNN about the difference music has made in this boy's life. Without a traditional "voice" to communicate, music gives him words that nothing else can. Enjoy and be inspired. We are all created differently, but in His image - "beautifully and wonderfully..."

Welcome to the Tots and Tunes Blog

What's Coming Up?
Summer Registration
Summer registration begins Saturday, April 5th. There will camps for all ages offered in both June and July. And remember we have an ongoing enrollment, so it is never too late to join!
Chick-Fil-A Spirit Night - Join me Monday, April 28th between 5-8 pm at the Mt. Juliet location for Spirit Night. Twenty percent of the money you spend that evening will be given to the Tots and Tunes Scholarship Fund to help at-risk children and those with developmental differences continue to receive music that matters. You have to present a flyer to the cashier upon your time of purchase. Please email me for a copy at totsandtunes@hotmail.com. Purchases can be made at the counter and Drive Thru.
Kindermusik Story Time at Old Hickory Library- Wednesday, June 11th at 10:30 AM
Donelson Library - Tuesday, July 15th at 10:30 AM
Don’t you wish more of our children lost themselves in a good book? Wouldn’t you rather see your own choosing to read for entertainment rather than plopping down in front of the TV with a Game Boy in their hands? Influence them early on, and take them to the library! Tots and Tunes will be appearing throughout the Spring and Summer with tailor-made music and movement story times for all ages. Come and enjoy a song or two, a book or three, and reintroduce yourself and your child to the wonder of literature! More locations and dates will be added in weeks to come, so look for one near you!
