Hot Toast Music Company | 60-90min | 0-12 | (315)542-9369 | booking@hottoastmusic.com | $350-$650 | https://www.hottoastmusic.com | HTMC is both a menu of in-person musical experiences for kids and a mixtape of songs for growing up. We believe that even the youngest children are whole people capable of constructing their own learning, thinking deeply, and having amazing ideas. Hot Toast is here to create a musical environment that awakens their innate curiosity and narrates their journey of discovery. We believe that music is the perfect vehicle for cross-curricular learning. By wrapping metaphors in melodies and mashing up topics that wouldn’t otherwise go together, children are able to grasp intangible concepts like mindfulness and self-regulation. DIY instrument creations, songwriting collaborations, genuine and highly interactive sing (and play) alongs, immersive provocations, and guitar/ukulele lessons all play an important role in Hot Toast programming. | 6029 E. 55th St. Tulsa, OK 74135 | None | All throughout the Tulsa Public Library system, Waco libraries, Kyle, Pflugerville, Hutto, Bertram, Bee Cave, Beeville, Lago Vista Library, Bookmarks in Dallas, Longview, Bonham | 7/25/2024 11:35:13 |
