DEEDLE TIME
taught by Lloyd Miller
(AKA Ulysses S. Dee of the Deedle Deedle Dees)

Deedle Time is a unique class for kids ages 6 months to 4 years that uses original music, instrument making and other art projects, hands-on opportunities with real instruments and other cool stuff, picture books, and puppets to introduce kids to the world around them.

A six-week winter session begins after the Thanksgiving holidays on Thursday, Dec. 3rd. Class dates: Dec. 3, Dec. 11, Dec. 17, Jan 14, Jan 21, Feb. 4 (+ some special free classes TBA).

Note on class times: Most likely we'll only keep the 9:30 and 10:30 timeslots for the 6-week session. I'll decide based on the turnout for the free classes.

costs:
$175* for 6-week session
$35 to drop in

*Includes CD (new Deedle Deedle Dees CD coming in December), T-shirt, and materials fee for instrument making and other art projects!

siblings:
One sibling may attend free of charge.

sliding scale:
If you're on a budget, please pay whatever you can. Don't even ask me if the amount is all right. Just put it in an envelope and give it to me. This applies to drop-in fees as well as the session rate.

make-up policy:
If you or your child is sick, stay home. You won't lose your classes. You can make them up during any future session or at any location where Lloyd teaches Deedle Time.

Park Slope Singalong Now on Tuesdays at 10

One more change to our schedule for the singalongs at the Tea Lounge on Union Street in Park Slope: We will be singing together every Tuesday at 10am for the rest of the year.

As many of you know, I play a number of public school concerts and do in-class songwriting workshops throughout the year. In order to fulfill my commitments to these activities, I decided to move the singalong to Tuesday to avoid future cancellations and disruptions.

So hopefully I'll see you this Tuesday or another soon! 10am at the Tea Lounge, Union Street between Sixth and Seventh Avenues.

Park Slope singalong update

My Wednesday singalong at the Union Street Tea Lounge in Park Slope is going to move to 10am starting next week (10/21). In addition, there will be a $3 per family fee for the event.

We made these changes so that the singalongs can continue at the Tea Lounge. Let me know what you think about the new time, the fee, etc. We're going to see how it goes and reassess in a couple of weeks. Don't worry -- the singalongs will go on.

Keep checking this site for the latest updates on times, locations. You can always also write me directly if you have questions:

Park Slope singalong at 10am Thursday, Oct 14

Hi everyone,
We're going to try having the Tea Lounge singalong at 10am tomorrow (10/14).

The Tea Lounge doesn't want us to do the event at 11 anymore -- I think it's getting too big and they're upset that very few people buy any food or drink.

I definitely want to keep the singalong going. Here are some ideas that I and some other people have suggested (let me know if you have more):

- We might permanently change the time to 10 (if this seems to work)
- We might change the venue (Any ideas for a new singalong location that can handle the huge crowd? In winter, as you probably know, these crowds get even bigger).
- The Tea Lounge might start asking for a $5 admission per family.

Pro-rated classes

Last week, the 8-week fall sessions of Deedle Time, my brand-new music & movement class for kids ages 6 months to 4 years, started at Midwood Martial Arts (Midwood/Ditmas Park) and the Brooklyn Learning Center (Park Slope). We sang songs about dinosaurs, dogs, boats, and other fun stuff. We also drummed on djembes, played a real acoustic guitar, and made boat nametags.

There's still room in all our current classes. If you'd like to join a class starting this week, next week, or anytime during our session, the price will be pro-rated. In addition, if you're dropping in for the first time, it's only $5 (usually $35).

Coming up this session:
- boat making
- banjo making
- comb and wax paper kazoos
- puppets!

Prices:
$250* for 8 weeks
$35 to drop in

* includes CD, T-shirt, and materials fee for instrument making and other craft projects. This rate will be pro-rated depending on when you join the class.

Hope to see you there!
