Songs, Smiles, & Social Skills
From holding hands to healthy habits, CCMS Dance Movement Therapist Heather Oberheim is making a difference for kids at the Concord Boys and Girls Club.
For Dance Movement Therapist Heather Oberheim, Fridays are busy, loud, active -- and rewarding.
Each week, Heather leads a music and dance group for children at the Concord Boys and Girls Club, as one of the partnerships in the Concord Community Music School's Music in the Community Initiative.
Beginning each class with greetings and body warmups, Heather uses song and dance to introduce social concepts such as waiting your turn, saying sorry, please, and thank you, and making eye contact with friends.
"I often have songs and dances that allow time for each child to 'show off' a move or try something in front of all their classmates," says Heather. "This time helps to enhance their self-esteem, and teaches other children how to show respect and compassion."
From breath support and balance, to strength building and smiling, healthy habits are also part of each 45-minute group meeting.
"The kindergarten children look forward to Music and Movement with Ms. Heather every week," says Tanya Barnes, lead kindergarten teacher at the Boys and Girls Club. "It is a wonderful opportunity for them to express themselves creatively and freely."
For Heather, the weekly groups are a time that she, too, looks forward to. "I do believe each Friday, I've been able to provide 12-18 children with a moment to smile, a moment to share and been seen, a moment to express their feelings, a moment to breathe and release stress, and many moments of support and love," she says.

Music School Alumna's Fiddling
Flourishes in the Scottish Folk Scene
Music School alumna Madeleine Stewart (second from the left) with her band, Eriska.
Three years ago, Music School alumna Madeleine Stewart packed up her fiddle and headed to Glasgow to study traditional fiddling at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland.
Now, Madeleine's fiddle playing and composing are making waves on the Scottish folk scene. Her Glasgow-based folk band Eriska, which combines rock, jazz, and folk styles, recently performed two of Madeleine's original tunes on STV Glasgow's Live at Five Show.
Congratulations, Madeleine!
