Mister Q is the amazing. He came to our house for my daughter's 2nd and 3rd birthday party and everyone loved it. It was amazing, even the adults had a blast. Such great memories, love looking back at the pictures. My daughter and I also took his weekly Music Together class for several years, it was so great, my daughter and I loved it. Highly recommended. read more

Mr. Q performed at my daughter's 4th birthday this past weekend. He completely surpassed my expectations! He is incredibly engaging and so much fun. The kids had an absolute BLAST and their parents have all talked about how fun it was, even for them. The whole thing was just adorable to watch. We loved the little instruments he had the children play, the dancing and singing. Mr. Q is truly a professional and it is obvious that he loves what he does. Thank you, Mr. Q! read more

Mister Q Live - Lots of fun to be had by all! :) - Musical Instruments & Teachers Near Me

We are enrolled in Michael's music together class and we could not be happier. My daughter who has a spunky personality loves his class. (We've tried other teachers but Michael blows the other teachers away!!) Also I hate to say this but Michael's vocals and music sound better than the CD we get from class. I think the producers of the CD should sit in Michael's class. We hired Michael to play at my baby shower and Michael was so accommodating as he was already booked on that day, but was able to squeeze us in (he had to skip lunch and drive up and down the peninsula) The kids loved him and we got so many compliments about him. In the beginning of the baby shower he was singing a black eyed peas song, but he makes it his own and it's amazing how talented he is. He incorporates his own style to the music and it's awesome. He also has a way of making everyone feel involved and pays attention to all the kids. He's very patient and really good with kids as my daughter tends to jump up and down and run around. We're so happy to see him each week and we can't wait to book Mister Q again!! read more

Mister Q is a such a pro! Booking with him was a cinch (he was very responsive to email and rolled with a change of date and park). He was super reliable and a hit with the kids (who ranged in age from 1-4) -- the grown ups even had a little time to mingle! He keeps the kids interested and engaged with an ever-changing array of instruments, balls, bubbles etc. Definitely more than just musical entertainment! Would recommend! read more

Mr. Q set up a google meetup with us to create a music and dance break during the COVID 19 shelter in place. It was super fun for our 2.5 year old. Recommend! read more

Mister Q is the BEST!!! We were first introduced to him through my son's pre-school - he did a few virtual performances with the kids during SIP. My son absolutely LOVED him, and we were so excited to learn we could book him for birthday parties! We threw together the most amazing 3rd birthday via Zoom - friends and family of all ages were rocking out to his catchy music and funny jokes. It was perfect! Mister Q was super responsive, easy to communicate with, extremely reasonably priced, and sooo much fun!! We can't wait to jam out with him again soon. read more

I've known Michael since I started taking my son to Beresford Park Rec Center when he was 2, five years ago. I've continued to refer his private party services to families I know because I know the kids will be engaged and entertained. Michael's song repertoire is vast and he puts the icing on the cake of every party he attends! read more

WOW! I was just at my friend's kid's birthday party where Mister Q performed and, seriously, Michael is amazing. He's an extremely talented musician and engages fully with the music and the kids. It's so much fun! Seriously - I am a huge skeptic about this stuff (I roll my eyes at anything that feels remotely awkward or cheesy), but Michael's performing is actually really engaging and relaxing. Who knew the itsy bitsy spider was actually a top 40 jam??? I asked if it would be appropriate for me to join the circle, since I didn't have a kid. #awkward #noshame read more

I don't know what else to say about Teacher Michael that hasn't already been said in other reviews! Teacher Michael came to my daughter's 1st birthday party and engaged all the kids the entire time (there were about 16 kids ranging from age 1 all the way to age 6). The kids barely made a circle because they were so intrigued by him and wanted to get closer. Teacher Michael played a mix of Music Together songs as well as a few current hits on the radio (which the older toddlers loved). He brought his guitar, speakers, iPod, and various instruments for the kids such as rhythm sticks, shakers, drums, bells, etc. My one year old is usually pretty apprehensive with anyone other than immediate family but she was sitting right next to Teacher Michael the entire time with no problem whatsoever. She wasn't even afraid when he got closer to her to show her how to hit the drums with the sticks in her hands. The kids had so much fun and I received so many compliments from the parents afterwards. My one year old finally has a consistent nap schedule down and we will be starting Music Together classes soon. The only bummer is that we aren't able to go to Teacher Michael's class due to scheduling conflicts since he's now in Burlingame and Millbrae only (so if you're able to sign up for his class, don't procrastinate because his classes always fill up fast!). A few other things: Teacher Michael is very professional. He replies to emails promptly, confirms a few days before the event, and comes early to set up. He even gave me his own CD's (volumes 1 & 2), which my kids love. We've been listening to the CD's in the car everyday (the CD's even trump the Disney CD's so that proves how awesome they are!). There's a reason why Mister Q was voted the top Bay Area kids entertainer for the past few years! If you're able to attend an event where Mister Q is playing (he plays all over the Bay Area at parks, schools, libraries, etc.), go check it out with your child(ren)! You won't regret it and want to book Teacher Michael for your child's next birthday party. Here's his website: misterqlive.com read more

Wow! We just finished a virtual birthday party for my 4 year old and her friends. Mister Q entertained a zoom room full of 3-5 year olds and he had them singing and dancing the whole time - truth be told, even the adults were singing and dancing too. Fantastic event and will gladly use again! read more

Michael played at our daughter's 4th birthday party last weekend. He was FANTASTIC! He kept the kids going by changing songs and props such as the parachute, drums and standing and jumping/dancing. He had the kids and adults moving! Michael was very easy to communicate with and was very prompt and organized. Thanks for making the party so fun! read more

Mister Q made my son's 2nd birthday party magical. He was the focal point of the party and the kids and adults alike had a blast! He was super responsive, reliable and is very well-priced. He is very talented and his guitar accompaniment to singing Happy Birthday made the moment even more special. Thank you Mister Q! read more

Mister Q has entertained at my daughter's bdays 2 years in a row (for her 1st & 2nd bdays). Each time he captivated the attention of 20+ kids (ranging from the ages of 1-10 years) and adults. He has a true gift. His sets are variable with interactive and exciting music and instruments. He's extremely friendly, personable & professional. Kids flock to him and parents are so comfortable with him. He will always be my go-to music guy (for kids). We alwats get more than what we pay! Thank you Mister Q for being as awesome as you are!!!! read more

We love Mr. Q! His weekly visits to my son's daycare for music class are a real highlight. The current COViD shelter in place restrictions have been hard on my toddler, and Mr. Q was very willing and eager to do a virtual music class for my son and some friends on Google Hangouts. It was very easy to set up and the kids loved it. Mr. Q is very quick to respond. We are planning to do more sessions with him while we shelter in place. He's great in person and virtually! read more

Mister Q comes to my son's daycare every week for music. My son (3 yo) loves him and talks about him all of the time. We recently booked him for my son's 3rd birthday party. He was so professional - confirming beforehand, showing up early (despite horrible SF parking), etc. He remembered all of my son's favorite songs and made sure to play them all. But what was most impressive was how well he interacted with all of the kids. From the littlest baby to the oldest kid, all of them were engaged by Michael's performance. He brought tons of props/instruments for the kids to interact with. The kids had such a blast and all of the parents were blown away. A true talent and such a nice guy. read more

He was great, we loved his performance on my daughters first birthday. He is very friendly and bring alot of instrument

Mr. Q came to my neighbors daughters first birthday party...and he rocked out with the kids....from babies to kiddos to adults. He had everyone singing and dancing for the time he was there. Super friendly, unique and educational - everyone loved Mr. Q - definitely highly recommended for parties!! read more

Mister Q Live - Mister Q jammin!! - Musical Instruments & Teachers Near Me

We had Mister Q come to our 2 year old's birthday party at our home. We already knew him from Music Together and Peekadoodle. He's great with kids, tries to get everyone engaged, and is creative. He brings his own instruments for kids to play with and toys, parachute. Our friends liked him so much they hired him for their own kid's birthday! read more

Mister Q was great! He was really simple and easy to work with, no drama at all. He came, set-up and played. I hosted a 1st birthday party for my daughter this past weekend, when he arrived the party was a little quiet and people were still trying to break the ice. Mister Q not only entertained the kids, but he also helped the adults settle into the party, making everything more fun for everyone! I highly recommend him for any party. read more

Great job at my daughter's birthday party and also for being able to switch / accommodate a last minute change in location from playground to indoors due to the Camp fires and smoke. He arrived 15 min earlier and stayed 10 min after his 45 min set - so the little kiddies had plenty of time to dance dance dance! read more

I hired Mister Q for my daughter's second birthday and her was amazing every step of the way! He is very responsive and a great communicator via email and in person. He arrived with a lot of props: drums, shakers, sticks. Kids were engaged the whole time (45 minutes), which is hard with 2 year olds! I didn't need to participate at all to keep my daughter engaged. No one was running away or did anything else but play and dance with Mister Q. I've been to many kids parties with entertainment and kids are very rarely all engaged, and sometimes I feel like I can do a better job than many of those entertainers. Michael is exceptionally good at what he does and is worth every penny! Not to mention that his songs are original and my daughter has been a fan ever since. Mister Q is placed next to Santa in her mind, and she is treasuring a shaker that Michael forgot, which she thinks was his present to her ))). My personal favorite song is "Mom, you are the bomb," of course (hair flip). We are looking forward to the new hits and always follow his public performances calendar. read more

We hired Mister Q for my daughter's 1st birthday, and he was fantastic! All the babies/kids enjoyed, especially my daughter! His music is fun and upbeat and he brings an array of toys and props to keep the kids entertained. They loved it! Not a single baby cried during the party, thanks to Mister Q keeping them occupied and entertained! Mister Q was also easy to book / communicate with, and he was on-time. Highly recommend. read more

Mr. Q performed for my daughter's birthday to a group of kids ages 1-10. He was fantastic - everyone loved him. He's like a magnet - the kids (and adults too!) just come to him, without any fuss, and are totally captivated the whole time. We originally met him through Music Together, where my daughter just adored him, and now we're planning to use him for private events as much as possible. He has a great voice, knows both kids and fun adult songs, and also brings all his fun toys that the kids love (and magically pick up with him - no clue how he does that). He was easy to communicate with and super responsive in advance of the party. Perfect experience all around. read more

We recently had Mr. Q come to our house for my son's 3rd birthday party. He was easy to contact and communicate with by email. He even asked for some of my son's favorite songs so that he could try to include those in his performance. On the day of the party, he arrived on time, if not early. He set up quickly and immediately had the kids around the gathering drum while they waited. We had about 20 kids, ranging in age from 1 to 12 years old. Most of the kids were engaged the entire 45 minutes. A couple of kids wandered off (to play in the other room) but would return when they heard something they wanted to participate in. The 2-3 year olds were very cute in how they were singing along and doing the movement and dancing. If you are familiar with Music Together classes, he incorporates some elements from there. He brought drums, egg shakers, scarves, and a parachute. With the parachute, the kids were "popping" balls in the air and with so many active boys in our party, those balls were flying all over the place! Didn't faze him at all! I think Michael (Mr. Q) is probably able to quickly assess groups to know what kinds of activities will get everyone highly engaged. Most of all though, I think he is a talented guitarist, singer, and overall musician. I highly recommend him. read more

We celebrated My son's 2nd birthday with help of a wonderfully talented Mr Q. If anyone is looking for a warm, talented and nice music entertainer we highly recommend Mr. Q. He even took the time to freshen up his Spanish so that he could play and sing my son's favorite song, La Bamba. Booking and all communications was easy and smooth. Thank you Mr. Q! read more

Mister Q is awesome. He is great with kids, even with 20+ kids in one room. Very gentle yet very energetic....his presence made our 3 year old daughter party more fun..even for parents. We would love to bring him back in our next party. He brings activities for kids and everyone participates and time just flies by...very responsive, very professional, on time...and great guy to work with! read more
