Touch the Music at Scribbles Preschool
Touch the Music embodies what Scribbles represents, early childhood
education that reflects research on current early brain development and
methodology. We are privileged to have Touch the Music director Claudia
Baumgaertner Lemmerz, a professional of this caliber leading an
enrichment class option at Scribbles. Over then years ago, when Claudia
had just moved to Mountain Lakes, she enrolled her three children at our
school.
She first became involved with us on a professional level when she
introduces her beginning German language program here. She then
established our popular class for toddlers establishing "Scribbles' n
Bits". Claudia eventually resumed her own musical performance career by
forming The Moonlight Duo in 2005 with cellist Karen Pinoci, and her
teaching career with The Moonlight Music Studio. Having graduated from
the Music Conservatory in Cologne, Germany with a Bachelor's degree in
organ, piano, voice and choral conducting, Claudia was well equipped to
do even more. She led music workshops for our teachers and performed in
concerts at the school. She co-founded the preschool music program
"Munchkin Music" in 2006 at Scribbles, which evolved into the hands-on
program "Touch the Music" in 2010. It was chosen by the New Jersey
Symphony Orchestra for their "Pre-Concert Adventure", which is offered
before their NJSO Family Series concerts. What an accomplishment!
Thank you so much Claudia, for your continued, outstanding
involvement in our school.
