🎻 Meet Dr. Sônia Feres-Lloyd! 🎻

Dr. Sônia Feres-Lloyd has been an integral part of the Baton Rouge Symphony Orchestra, performing since 1993-94 and from 1998 to the present. Her musical journey also includes enriching experiences with Opera Louisiane, showcasing her versatility and passion for performance.

A dedicated educator with over 40 years of pedagogical expertise, -fereslloyd has nurtured young musicians both in her native Brazil at the Escola de Música de Jundiaí, and in the United States since 1993. Her educational journey continued at Louisiana State University, where she earned both her Master’s and Doctoral degrees, contributing significantly to the LSU Music Academy and Strings Techniques program.

In 2005, Sônia co-founded her Children’s Music Studio (.music.studio), where she and her husband, Bill Lloyd, introduce the joys of music and movement to babies, toddlers, and their families through the Music Together® program.

Beyond her performances and teaching, Sônia is gearing up for an exciting month ahead. She will be returning to her hometown of Jundiaí, Brazil, for a special recital and presenting at the 49th International Viola Congress at the State University of Campinas (UNICAMP) in July 2024.

We celebrate Sônia’s dedication to music and education, and are honored to have her as a cherished member of the Baton Rouge Symphony family! 🎶

Most people think being musical is a question of talent—you either have it or you don't. While that may sound reasonable, it's completely untrue! All children can learn to dance and sing just as naturally as they learn to walk and talk. Want to know more?

At one point or another, we have all experienced the connection and bonding that can arise when making music or dancing with another person or in a group. Maybe it was singing in a choir or singing as a family in the car. Maybe it was dancing the “Electric Slide” at a wedding, chanting a sports anthem in a stadium, or making music in your Music Together class. Learn a little more about the “why” behind the magic of musical connection. (Turns out, science has something to say about it!) https://www.musictogether.com/parents/music-brings-us-together?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=post&utm_campaign=01082024

Join us for the Bells Song Collection this Winter!

Classes starting on January 9, 2024

www.ChildrensMusicStudioLA.com

In the upcoming song collection, families will play with their voices by mimicking the sounds of instruments in the “French Folk Song,” and Spanish-speaking animals in “De Colores.” (Did you know that in Spanish, roosters say “Quiri-quiri quiri” to wake people up?) Making funny animal sounds, lip-burring, and other tonal play helps children explore their vocal register, discover their singing voices and distinguish them from their speaking voices. And since children learn from contrasts and by expressing music with their full bodies, you’ll be hopping lightly like birds and sliding smoothly like an iceskater. You’ll have so much fun you won’t even notice that you’re learning staccato and legato! In addition to your weekly classes, your tuition includes recordings and materials for you to use at home, including access to the songs through the Music Together app. Join the Winter session and play, sing, laugh and learn with families in your community.

Research suggests that active music-making with others supports many parts of socio-emotional development, including self-regulation, self-confidence, leadership skills, social skills, and more. How cool is that?
