The STAR Center has begun a new series called At Home Arts with Katlin and Rebekah. We understand with COVID-19, many are looking for ways to keep their children/students entertained while using every day resources.
Two of the music therapists, Katlin Ross and Rebekah Tarplin, are bringing you easy and educational ways to incorporate arts into your daily routine.
For more information on At Home Arts, please contact Katlin at katlin.ross@star-center.org. We will use a variety of ways to get resources to you which will include providing links, sharing our supply list, and regularly posting to our Pinterest Page.
Our videos are posted on our Facebook Page and Youtube Channel.
We will continue to update this blog as new content gets published. In addition, please leave us comments below to let us know what you would like to see from At Home Arts.
Not sure what to do with your children at home all day during this COVID-19 shutdown? Here is a short video highlighting some simple music activities you can do at home during this time. All you need is a music source (Spotify, Pandora, YouTube, or even CDs!) and objects from around your home.

I was under music therapy to improve my focus, and it did create wonders in life. I agree with you that it could do wonders in my kids as well. There are so many ways of incorporating music in their life, and I am feeling relieved to think about the positive effects it will bring them.
