Kari Kovick lives in the one-stoplight town of Floyd, Virginia. She moved there in 1999 with her husband and two daughters to follow her bliss: to share her favorite children’s music in a community setting where she could grow up alongside kids and their parents. She created Heart of the Child Music Education, a joyful, interactive music program, and has watched it grow organically and persistently over the past 18 years.

Heart of the Child Music Education began by serving one classroom of Floyd Head Start preschoolers. It now serves 33 classrooms (over 750 children) in year 2017, in public and private school settings all over Floyd. Its mission is to not only deliver high quality music education, but also to offer consistent, positive connection for its students’ social and emotional lives as long as they live in Floyd.

It uses research based trainings in Music Together®, Education Through Music and Orff Schulwerk to inform its music programming. Studies in attachment theory, positive discipline, and mindfulness help serve its students’ inner lives in the most positive way. Kari draws her song selection from her friends in the Children’s Music Network, songs which honor, celebrate and educate children on pro-social and pro-environmental ideals. Heart of the Child Music Education has many fans in the thousands of students, parents, teachers and administrators it has served, and Kari enjoys Rock-Star status when she runs into her 5 and under students in the local grocery store.
