 carsonfaceGreetings!
Great News!  SoBe Music Institute has been extended at the historic Carl Fisher Clubhouse for the academic year!  We will continue our celebrated music programs for children, adults and seniors starting Monday, September 17, 2007.  
Many of you with younger children will be happy to hear that we have added a program for pre-k children ages 3-5 to our schedule.  And starting in January we intend to add a Music for Toddlers program in the mornings (under 3 years).  
We are going to restart our popular open friday music series on September 21, and we will also be adding special concerts in the park and much more.
We would like to thank the City of Miami Beach for their continuing partnership in opening the Carl Fisher Clubhouse for music & arts education for the entire community. 
Sincerely,
Carson Kievman, Ph.D.
