“the sultry music was superb when Majel Connery was airily singing” — Zachary Woolfe, NY Times
JANUARY 31ST, 2PM AT THE SIERRA VALLEY PRESERVE & NATURE CENTER IN BECKWORTH, CA
Have a scenic Sunday with the family, driving down Highway 89 and strolling through the most beautiful nature preserve, a meer 42 ish miles from downtown Truckee.
Seasons: A Musical Field Journal, composed by Majel Connery and Illustrated by Em Young is a playful pairing; a concert and journaling experience created especially for young children and the grownups who love them. Through short songs, movement, and imagination, families are invited to explore the sights, sounds, and feelings of the seasons together and put those complex emotions to a curated page, The Musical Field Journal.
Inspired by the Sierra Nevada—its weather, colors, animals, and rhythms—this performance encourages curiosity, connection, and shared discovery. Kids don’t just listen… they sing, move, and participate.
The music and journal are both designed for little bodies, big feelings, and family fun.
With a $35 ticket you get a free Musical Field Journal for your little!
How It Works (Easy-Peasy)
We’re building memory through short songs
Each song is just a few minutes long and easy to repeat. Kids listen first, then sing along.
We’re pairing movement with learning
Songs include built-in movements (hands, bodies, voices) to help kids stay focused engaged while feeling embodied.
We’re supporting curriculum
ELA & Math – counting, patterns, colors, weather words
Science – observation by way of animals and seasons
SEL – active listening, taking turns, naming feelings
