History
Established in 2016.
As a mom, Melissa loves spending time with her kids and engaging them with parent-child classes. After going to various music classes, Melissa didn't feel very connected to the music or curriculum. She started searching online for an alternative and that's when she found Ladybug Music.
She fell in love with the unique music and downloaded it immediately. After weeks of playing the songs and dancing with her daughter, she wished this class from California was in Minneapolis. So... long story short, she contacted Patricia and after about a year of communicating, they decided to bring this class to the Twin Cities! She is elated to be able to help children and their parents have fun together as they discover the joy of music.
Meet the Business Owner: Melissa G.
At an early age, Melissa showed a passion for music and theatre. She loved performing in various community theatre productions; the first role she remembers was being Peter Rabbit at age 3. She entered the stage, hopped around the bunny trail, and left the stage. That five minutes of "stage-time" peaked her interest in theatre and she participated in almost every production. This passion transpired into her studying piano, voice, and theatre at Clarke Univeristy where she received her BA. She continued to perform in various productions until she began studying for her Master's degree in Education.
Of all her roles, her favorite has been the role of Mom to her daughter, Keira, and son, Greyson. As a mom, she loves spending time with her kids and engaging them with parent-child classes. After going to various music classes in the Twin Cities, Melissa didn't feel very connected to the music or curriculum. She started searching an alternative and that's when she found Ladybug Music.
