    My son entered the Northwestern Music Academy as a beginner cellist with limited skill but much…read morepotential and talent. Mindy Park is an outstanding educator who was born to teach children music. Her pedagogy is rooted in technique and skill rather than route memorization. Within two semesters, she was able to place my son far ahead of his school group. NMA offers unparalleled group and individual concerts and recitals in grandiose halls, where pupils learn to play in a professional music setting at a young age. We are excited to see how he grows in his musicianship throughout the years through this prestigious program.

    I was so surprised to see that Kindermusik has not been reviewed yet and we've only known about…read moresince 2009 when we became parents! One of the important things to us as parents was to introduce our kids to music at an early age. We have tested out a variety of different music options here in Evanston, and our favorite is Kindermusik through the Music Academy at Northwestern University. You can start as young as newborn in the Kindermusik Village where both my kids have started - my daughter just finished up the Kindermusik Village session this summer and loved it. She went from just humming songs and melodies to actually having 4 songs memorized and singing very loudly and proudly! Their Our Time is the 18 months - 3.5 years session where it's a parent/tot activity. My son just recently wrapped up Kindermusik's Image That series where he loved the fact that he was dropped off for 30 minutes (it was our Saturday morning coffee break routine while he was in class) and then, we rejoined the group for 15 minutes sharing time. The classes are really great - you have quality materials (books, dvd, toy, etc) and the teachers are really fantastic. Julie Friend is an amazing resource, personable, talented, and we have really loved having her as our teacher. I'm most excited for my son who will be starting Kindermusik for the Young Child, Year One with Pat Heinenman this year because he'll be learning how to play the glockenspiel and sight reading, which is an essential tool for learning any musical instrument. Year Two is learning how to the two-stringed culcimer and the soprano recorder. The other music places are good, too, but our personal preference is Kindermusik as both my children will continue their music education here. They're great to work with, their schedules are flexible and accommodate both the stay-at-home parent and the working parent. The quality of the music education is proven through the results that I've seen with my children.

    I have always had a fiercely inquisitive mind, constantly questioning everything (For instance, if…read moreevolution produces the best and brightest in the species, why does it produce people who don't believe in evolution?). So I was happy to find the interactive, monthly lecture series, Science Cafe. You know this free event is legit, because it's sponsored by Northwestern. Who else knows science better? DePaul? Right. Alumni pay to have their names taken off of buildings. UIC? Uh-huh. I've seen more sophisticated scientific breakthroughs in a Dustin Diamond science project. The event is held at the bar, FireHouse Grill. Ironic that I'm visiting an alcohol-filled venue to improve my brain when such venues have previously done so much damage. Too bad the venue couldn't also improve my damaged fender or make that kid walk again (But on the plus side, he no longer has to wait in line for rides at Disney Land). The patrons are a shockingly older group. Still, great to see such fervent curiosity from folks so close to death. If I were FireHouse Grill, I'd ask patrons to pay their tabs in advance. Anyway, when you show up, pick a seat, sit down, and like a panda mating ritual, you know its game on when someone starts presenting. The lecture I attended was called "The Array of Things," dealing with Argonne Lab's efforts to put sensors all over Chicago to help improve our quality of life. For instance, sensors could change cross-walk signals more quickly based on BlueTooth signals from pedestrians' mobile devices. That means when the city is all wired up and you want to cross the street more quickly, find the intersection with a lot of people with smart phones. Or, find an intersection near an Apple store. Another example is if you're a young woman walking home late at night, sensors could tell you what streets had lots of people, so you could avoid muggers. By the same token, if you're a mugger, you could see the streets with only a single lone woman walking. That saves time! It may sound scary that there are all these devices tracking what we do, but its coming, so we might as well embrace it. As the old saying goes, "If you can't beat 'em, join 'em." Or to put that in a more modern context, if you're kid already has autism, might as well get him vaccinated.

Dear Parents, The staff supervision at this facility is seriously LACKING. It has a claustrophobic little time-out room with a tiny little window on the door. That's it-three walls and a door with a tiny window. If your child's teacher believes your kid deserves it, he'll be thrown in there for HOURS at a time, with no one checking in on him. This may be okay for prisoners when they are thrown in the hole, but not for mentally disabled children. I would sooner set my flesh on fire than see any relative of mine sent here. My brother was left in there for hours with a bully who was much larger than him and TOUCHED HIM INAPPROPRIATELY. This was possible because THERE WAS NO STAFF SUPERVISION!!!!! You can message me for further info...I'll be more than happy to give it. How's that yelp...is that 'business oriented" enough for you? What's it going to take to warn other parents/family members?

Since finishing YB, I've graduated college, moved to a new city, started a full-time job, successfully transitioned to a second job, and really have embraced adulthood. Life is not without its bumps and I'm still someone who deals with depression and anxiety. But that's a part of life and I'm not scared to face all the emotions and feelings that once derailed me and my family. I was talking with a fellow alumni from my time at YB and we continue to look back fondly at the experience. YB was a special place that fostered vulnerability and self-discovery. Again, in the moment, there were definite struggles. It was the most challenging work of my life. But I feel proud of the work I was able to accomplish and have so much love for my therapist, the other doctors, the staff, the patients, everyone who cultivated a community at YB that allowed me to be, well, me. I've taken this experience with me into other environments and settings that has allowed me to really thrive as a more confident and loving person. I sincerely hope young adults and families who feel hopeless take a look at Yellowbrick. It's an investment that saved my life and I will forever be thankful.

But I'm still in court trying to get my money back. 3 and 1/2 years later they created a bill to claim services were billed as extra/different than the SCA. The place is not worth the headaches they will cause, go somewhere else. Here it is all about moving money from your pocket to his. Run.
