Why? Many studies have shown that early musical education will enhance a child’s development and confidence.  HooteNanny will help you and your child gain basic musical competence through:
-movement and dance
-instruments
-singing
-quality time spent with your child!

Who? Nerissa and Katryna Nields are national touring musicians, a part of the legendary band The Nields who toured North America throughout the nineties and into this millennium.  As a duo, they were a part of Lillith Fair, and have shared the stage with Natalie Merchant, Suzanne Vega, Sarah McLaughlin, Dar Williams, The Indigo Girls, James Taylor, Joan Baez, the Band, 10,000 Maniacs, Billy Bragg, Dan Zanes and countless others, all of whom informed and enhanced their musical repertoire. Together they are writing a book called All Together Singing In the Kitchen: The Musical Family, due out on Shambhala/Trumpeter Books in 2011.
Katryna has participated in Music Together training (and is an alum of the fabulous Hill Town group with Lui Collins in Ashfield.)  Nerissa spent four years as the musical director of a day camp of 400 kids.  They grew up listening to Pete Seeger and Jack Langstaff lead audiences in song, and fervently believe that a group of people singing folk songs together is tantamount to heaven on earth.
