Jensen Yamaha Music School 12/7/20…read more We so appreciate all the efforts from Jensen Yamaha Music family. Our classes were up and running in a flash online. A few months later, options to attend in person were available. We have done both, and can say the experience has NOT suffered at all. Classes are as fun and enjoyable no matter what your preference is. The Jensen family has worked hard to accommodate virtually by sending frequent updates, posting practice videos and homework videos as well as tips on how to position your device near the piano/keyboard at home to make it better for both teacher and student. Classes in person are well planned, and as you can see from the photos, very fun! The children loved dressing up for Halloween for classes and we appreciated it so much. There have been online music parties, a birthday celebration for Mrs. Lois!, family fun and games online, community involvement...so so much :-D We have also opted for private lessons, and are doing those online at home. The experience is very personal, and fosters so much creativity for our son. We truly love this family and thank them for working so hard to make music fun for our family. Thank you always Jensen Family, ttfn. , L. 100!

Music Together is absolutely the best program you can give to your child! We tried so many other…read moreprograms with our three kids (gymboree, kindermusik... you name it and we tried it), and MT is by far the best one. As a completely "non-musical", "non-singing" parent, I love how this program changed it. The songs are so sweet and catchy (but not at all cheesy, like music on most kids' cds), I love singing them with my kids! (there were a few times when I was driving in the car without kids and I found myself jamming to that CD without even realizing that I could listen to something else). My daughter loves to sing the songs and come up with new words for them (this program certainly promotes creativity and play). With each session I can see how my children change and grow musically and spiritually. But I must say that a class is only as good as its teacher. This will be our 5th (yes, fifth!) session with Moni, and she is the best! She really connects with kids, she is very loving and enthusiastic, we always come home from the class uplifted and inspired. My children love her and adore her to no end, and I am just really happy that she is the one that they learn music from. Bottom line - try a class, fall in love, get addicted, and SING!

My 8-month-old daughter and I started attending Whirligig Music Together classes in March of 2011…read more Our wonderful teacher, Moni Kiraly, always encouraged us to participate in silly, fun, and age-appropriate (for the baby!) ways. I always felt comfortable singing, dancing, and playing the little percussion instruments and kazoos in class. I loved Moni's habit of bringing in a variety of "serious" orchestral instruments to play for us each week, too. (They seem serious to me, though Moni would never describe them in such an intimidating way!) I think my baby especially enjoyed the deep resonance of the tuba and I loved the sound of the accordion. Moni also encouraged us to spend time singing and making music together at home every day. At first, I thought this sounded a bit like homework, but it was naturally something my husband and I enjoyed doing with the baby in the morning, at bedtime, and in the car throughout the day. Thinking back, I believe it was after that first class that my baby started clapping for the first time. She clapped almost every time she heard music after that and surprisingly keeps very good rhythm, which Moni pointed out was something babies are often naturally good at. My daughter also rocks back and forth or side to side while sitting or standing and nods her head in time to the beat of music we listen to. At hom, we play together with a little egg maraca, a baby tambourine, a xylophone, and lots of drum-like empty coffee and yogurt containers. Sometimes my daughter drums with me, and sometimes she accompanies me with her clapping, but she's always engaged and interested in the music making fun. Just before our second to last class of the semester, when she was almost 11-months-old, my daughter started singing a basic chorus from our Music Together CD, which we listen to and sing along to every day. She has been doing this each day since, all day long, and I usually try to join in with a harmony when I notice her doing it. On a practical note, I've also noticed that she can usually be very quickly calmed when I start singing to her while she's upset, such as when we're waiting around for the pediatrician, changing clothes or diapers, or sitting in the car during long trips. Moni mentioned this "magical" use of music and it really does work! I admit I find the Music Together CD pretty fun to rock out to, even when I'm in the car by myself. I also love the group jam sessions during our Whirligig classes and I really let myself enjoy it, especially since Moni tells us that our genuine enthusiasm and joy for making music will transfer to our kids. I've really enjoyed the course, had lots of fun singing and playing with the other parents and children, and truly look forward to making music with my daughter for many, many years to come! Moni has been a wonderful, inspiring, supportive, and informative teacher who is obviously quite gifted when it comes to working with kids and babies. I feel so fortunate that we found and were able to participate in this class!

She needed some photos for a print ad she is going to run, so I offered up my (free) services. Anyhoo, I've gotta say- I've never seen so many different kids in one gathering be so well behaved and focused. As soon as Amber started the class, they started dancing or clapping along with whatever was going on. The class kind of reminded me of one of those really immersive language courses where the instructor never stops speaking the language. Even when Amber was giving the parents instructions or letting them know what the next activity was, it would be in singsong. Props to Amber for keeping the Fine Arts alive in our youth!

The space the owner…read more(Carey) has created is wonderful for playing before/after class and connecting with the other families. My son does several paid activity classes during the week (music, gym, dance, etc.) - this is by far the best value for your money. You'll get music, teachers who have studied the curriculum and Montessori education, movement, language development, and a beautiful space for play and community after class. My son started at 11 months and I wish we started earlier! For weeks he just sat in our laps and listened most of the class. He seemed like he wasn't super excited but he was actually just slowly absorbing everything! It's now been four months and he gets so excited every time he hears music he starts dancing and smiling! We listen to all the songs in the car and someties at home and he's started singing along to several words from different songs. He even remembers which words/sounds are coming next - it's so adorable to hear him in the back of the car singing! Heartsong has been great for language development too - an unexpected plus! My son started saying words with difficult sounds (e.g., "car") that we hadn't heard as a babble sound or really used often and we figured out it's because the "ca"/"ka" sound is used in several songs we're singing this semester. Neat! I love that Heartsong follows the Music Together curriculum which means you do the same set of about 25 songs over the 10-week "semester" and then move to a different set. This allows time for the kids to get used to the sound of a song over the semester. The songs have been developed to help with language development (lots of different sounds), music development, and even self-regulation (slower/faster). I love that the teachers offer insights on why certain things they do help with development. The in-class experience will vary by teacher. Keep that in mind if you decide to do demo classes first.
