When Peter and Stephanie Rich were choosing a name for their son, they knew they wanted a name that connected to harmony, and peace, and music. They were both very familiar with the Tony Award\u2013winning tap dance master\/choreographer Savion Glover, and they liked having a connection to an artist that they admired.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter he was born and we saw our baby\u2019s spirit, it just really clicked,\u201d says Peter. \u201cSavion: a name that speaks to a bringer of harmony, art, and peace.\u201d\u00a0 Savion and his parents carry on a connection to those same values in their class at Music Together of Ithaca, New York. In fact, Savion has become so attached to the music that his parents make sure that Music Together songs are playing during every car ride they take.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe once took a three-hour drive to see family, and Savion didn\u2019t do well\u2014lots of crying,\u201d Stephanie recalls. \u201cSo on our next trip, we used the Music Together app for music, and he was fine! Now, every day and everywhere we go, we play Music Together songs. It makes such a difference.\u201d<\/p>\n

Savion is particularly taken with the songs that Grandma Yvette sings, such as \u201cJohn the Rabbit,\u201d \u201cOne Little Owl,\u201d and \u201cAll Around the Kitchen.\u201d\u00a0 Peter and Stephanie noticed that he seemed to gravitate towards her bluesy, soulful voice, and often stopped crying when he heard her singing. This piqued Peter\u2019s curiosity, so he did a little research to find out more about Grandma Yvette, and discovered her bio on the Music Together website<\/u><\/a>. Imagine his surprise when he discovered that she was the mother of Savion Glover! \u201cWe were so excited!\u201d Peter exclaims. \u201cWe already loved Grandma Yvette through her music, and then to find out this funny, cool coincidence. . . it was really incredible.\u201d<\/p>\n

Peter and Stephanie wish to thank Grandma Yvette for having such a positive influence in their lives, and for bringing little Savion so much joy through the music she sings with the Music Together band. \u201cWe appreciate her voice and her musicality; she brings love into the music, and that filters out into our home and into our Savion\u2019s life,\u201d says Stephanie. \u201cIt\u2019s so great singing along with her, and her influence has really spread out to our whole family. It\u2019s such a sweet story for our son and our early parenting years.\u201d It\u2019s pretty safe bet to assume that it\u2019s a sweet story for Grandma Yvette and her<\/em> son, too.<\/p>\n\"\"\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
