Feel the Beat! Music with Annette Is Now Online
|
 While Annette Foldes' in-person music program for youth is on hold for now, you can still enjoy her "Music Everywhere with Annette!" videos. These videos were born of Annette's desire to remain connected with the many families she has presented her program to on the first Thursday of the month over the last seven years. "And hopefully," Annette says, "to connect with some new families, as well!"
Sing and bop along with these unique music videos in which Annette combines her professional experience as an award-winning television host and producer with her many years as a music educator and performer. A new video is posted on the Library's Facebook page the first Thursday of every month, and "Music Everywhere with Annette!" videos are always available by visiting the Library's Youth Services web page.
