Bye Bye Musikgarten

Harvynna’s Musikgarten teacher informed us that after January, the classes will stop for a while till they find more students. The reason is some of the other children have moved to the next level as they will be 4 this year. So that leaves only Harvynna and another boy. 2 to a class is quite boring.

Harvynna has been attending Musikgarten for almost a year and a half now and she really enjoys it. But I guess maybe it’s a blessing in disguise as we can now look at other options. But then again, I was planning on bringing Rowena along once she turned one since the location in Bangsar is really convenient and the class is specially for working mothers.

Have checked out a few more classes:

There’s another musikgarten in Jalan Telawi at Musik Makers but the location is bad since parking will be a big problem. And other places have their classes on weekends. All these activities have to suit my shedule as well – kind of lazy to have to attend all these on weekends as it’s a weekend and its time to rest. And location is VERY important to me as I am not willing to drive miles and miles just to have a 40 minute activity. Pe-lease – I drive enough on weekdays

Then, there’s Baby Ballet in Jalan Gasing. That’s on Saturdays too.

Then, of course there’s Gymboree at Bangsar Village and that’s also on weekends.

That’s not much options for Working mummies.

There’s this new café in Hartamas called ‘Caterpillar’ which offers Orff Schulwerk, but no options for Working Mummies. Boo hoo. Nothing on weekends for the younger ones too.

Then there’s ‘Talented Kids’ in Jalan Maarof which sounds ok. Will be taking Harvynna there for a trial class next week. This place is good as it is just a few doors down her Musikgarten place.

Maybe we will take a break for a while till we find something good.
Personally, I would like to enroll her for some dance classes but lets wait and see.

Hey.. what is Orff Schulwerk? From Caterpillar? Caterpillar is the one at the same row as Aunty Nat right?

Aiyo.. you have so explored so many places, will contact you seperately to ask you for the names and locations of such places, I'm planning to send Zara to some of these activities too, but haven't decided when. Will email you.

Thanks for this info.
