What a summer it’s been for Fiddlesticks Music! From late May until now, we’ve been singing, dancing, and drumming our way across Birmingham, bringing people together from all walks of life into one joyful circle of music. Every time we sing with children, we’re shining the light of Christ in our community, breaking down barriers and building connections among families of many different stories, cultures, and resources. This summer alone, we’ve touched hundreds of lives through the power of music. Highlights from the season: In May, our Fiddlesticks Family Sing-along Concert filled the Great Hall with over 70 voices, young and old, singing in harmony. In June, we celebrated the National Day of Making at the McWane Science Center by making music together and helping little ones craft their own instruments. We returned to McWane to mark the 10th Anniversary of Itty Bitty Magic City with joyful songs and play. At the Birmingham Folk Festival, our classes at the Avondale Library had children and caregivers singing and moving together all afternoon. We brought free demo classes to the Homewood Library, introducing even more families to the joy of Music Together®. And all spring, we partnered with UAB Head Start, bringing music-making to families who might not otherwise have that opportunity. At Fiddlesticks Music Together®, we provide weekly 45-minute classes for children from infancy through age eight, following a research-based curriculum designed to nurture musical growth and create meaningful connections. But our calling is much bigger than that. Our doors are open to families of all identities, abilities, and ages—because music, and the love that pours out through All Saints, is for everyone. Fall Registration Registration is open for FALL Session 2025! The 11-week fall session is September 7 - November 22 . These Fiddlesticks Music classes are perfect for infants to 5-year olds and their "grown-ups." Parents, grandparents, or nannies come make music with your little one through singing, dancing, and musical play! When you register, make sure to let us know that you are a member at All Saints, to receive 20% off of the $195 tuition. We also have need-based scholarship options. Learn more or to register for the session today: www.fiddlesticks-music.com .
