Five Things: Stomping, Singing and Spending

1. Free City Stomp Trial Music Class

Free trial classes for City Stomp, an early childhood music program featuring songs that families enjoy as much as children, are available with reservation at three locations in either Park Slope or Ditmas Park.

Nominated as one of the city's top music programs by Nick Jr. and GoCityKids, City Stomp celebrated the city's cultural diversity as well as the landmarks, sights and sounds that are familiar to its young audience. 

A series of 5 weekly classes begins July 8 and is $135 for family music or $175 for drum circle (sibling discount available) and includes a professionally produced 
City Stomp CD. For complete schedule, more information, or to register, visit www.CityStompMusic.com. To reserve a trial class write to info@citystompmusic.com. 

2. Money Matters

Money Matters is a free workshop where participants get practical, easy-to-use information that can help make complicated financial topics simpler. Offered by the National Foundation for Credit Counseling, in collaboration with Bank of America, this workshop is designed to help participants learn in a comfortable and informal setting.
