This place is one of a kind. George puts his heart and soul into each session. The energy and vibe of this place is like none other. The kids love George and so do the parents. My son went here for a year or two and we've been wanting to take our daughter but haven't matched our schedules. If you have kiddos under 5 and live within 20-30 minutes... I'd highly recommend. read more

10 stars! We are now a few months removed from One Heart Music (we moved to Oregon) and I can't tell you how much my family misses it! We've tried other classes and nothing compares to Mr. George's sessions. My son started at 6 months and we moved when he was 2. He loved the classes' music, interactive-ness and props! I highly recommend this organization to all families. read more

There are many different music classes out there, but One Heart Music is pretty special. The classes are small, so you really get to know the other kids and parents. George is a patient, creative, and thoughtful teacher. He's great at coaxing even the shyest kids out of their shells. Each class follows a certain rhythm but still has enough variety to make the weeks different. Highly recommend! read more

My family has been attending One Heart Music classes for nearly 2 years and really enjoy it. I appreciate that there are options for early evening and weekend classes which can make it easier for working parents to be involved. My daughter can be very shy in group settings, but she loves coming to music classes and gets progressively more interactive throughout the class/season. I think George does an amazing job at encouraging little ones (and families) - calling out specific names in his songs, giving shoutouts and positive affirmations, and getting everyone to participate in the songs or activities. read more

One Heart Music is our favorite extracurricular activity EVER! Not only for the kiddos, but for us adults too! My parents always ask to come to music class with us when they're visiting, they adore it as well (and my dad is a professional film composer). Mr. George is incredible: infectiously fun, wonderful music (mostly original, with classics sprinkled in throughout class), fabulous with kids. We have been attending while my kids have been in the age range of 18 months to 5 years, and it has been meaningful every class. My son asks to play Mr. George music nonstop, and we sing a lot of the songs at home too. My daughter has always enjoyed the finger play and interactive pets of class. Cannot say enough glowing things about One Heart Music!!! read more

Looking for a high energy, engaging, and super fun class for you and your toddler? This is IT!! We tried George's One Heart Music after being disappointed with another music class and it is everything a toddlers music class should be! He does a wonderful job balancing new songs and genres with classic songs that my toddler loves. He provides a variety of instruments and allows my toddler to explore with instruments that she wouldn't otherwise be introduced to. George is very warm and uplifting and all the kids love him. I can't recommend this class enough. Both ME and my daughter look forward to this class every week read more

Our two little girls love going to see Mr. George! They look forward to dancing and singing with him and the other children. They have been enjoying one heart music since before the pandemic and it continues to be one of the experiences they look forward to every week. Thank you George for all of the love and joy you spread through your music and your kindness towards children and families. We encourage anyone who has children to experience the power of one heart music in person and see what a positive impact George has on little ones. We feel so lucky to have George and one heart music in our community! read more

My daughter is 2.5 years old, and she has been attending One Heart music classes for a little bit less than a year. George, the instructor, keeps the classes engaging by changing music and rotating toys, ensuring the kids never get bored. It's adorable to see my daughter imitates the music classes at home, and I am impressed by how much she has learned from them. I highly recommend One Heart Music! read more

I cannot say enough great things about Mr. George and One Heart Music! I splurged on this class when my son was 2 years old and I was pregnant with my daughter. I wanted a special activity that I could do with my son, before baby sister came along. She ended up being born 2 days before our last class of the session. She was born 11/27/21, and my family of 4 attended the last music class on 11/29/21. At literally 48 hours old, music class was her first outing! We have been coming ever since. Son is 4 and baby girl is almost 2! My favorite things about music class: 1: The music! George has a fabulous mix of songs he writes himself and typical songs the kids already know. I absolutely love all of his music, and it was my most listened to albums on Spotify last year! I love kids music that is also enjoyable to adults! 2: All the components that make up the class; singing, dancing, instruments, props, bubbles, and getting a sticker at the end of every class! 3: child (and parent) participation! It's a small, intimate environment, so the kids get a chance to give their input during songs, such as choosing an animal for a farm song. 4: I love how every class starts with the hello song. It's so welcoming, and every child smiles as their name is being said! You will catch me and my kids sprinting from the parking lot, so that we do not miss the hello song! (It's hard leaving the house in time with a one year old and four year old!) 5: A personal favorite for me is when Mr. George plays one of his instruments before class starts, such as the steel drum! What started out as a splurge for some special mommy son time, has turned into our weekly routine! My son is now in preschool and I get special mommy daughter time. I will truly miss this class when my kids have outgrown it! Thank you Mr. George, for making music, and being an awesome human! read more

One Heart Music is the best. We've done lots of different kids classes with our two young girls (1.5 yrs and 4). I can say unequivocally that One Heart Music is their favorite. It's always such a joyful, positive, engaging and well organized experience. Teacher George is a master. It's also one of the few classes that I actually enjoy as an adult, too! If you are on the fence, you should check it out. You won't regret it. read more

Mr. George is the absolute BEST! We sincerely love bringing our daughter to his class on the weekend as an entire family. We have enjoyed watching our daughter (just turned 3) engage in the music and movement and while having so much fun doing so. The musically artistic side of her personality has blossomed since we have started going. I love seeing this part of my child shine brighter each time. Everyone is engaged, including the parents which makes this time even more special. Thank you Mr. George for the wonderful work you do! We will appreciate being a part of the One Heart Music family! read more

Whenever we're asked what music class to try for littles, we recommend George at One Heart Music for sure. We've tried several other classes around here and his is our hands-down favorite. Some other music classes are ok for babies but not great at capturing the attention of older toddlers/preschoolers, or vice versa, but George does such a great job, everyone in our family is engaged -- little sister, big sister, and both parents love it too. He keeps things moving and has great classroom management skills, and is just a cool guy all around. The kids can tell he's legit -- he respects them and the music, and it's a great vibe. My sense is he's in this to spread joy, help families have some quality time, and sprinkle in some key life lessons along the way, which is so appreciated as it does take a village! Thank you for what you do Teacher George! read more

We love One Heart Music! My 2 year old loves the music and is more engaged with Mr George than with any other class we've tried! We've been here most of this year and keep enrolling for new sessions because we enjoy it so much! read more

I can't say enough about how interactive, professional, kind and talented Mr. George is! Our little one has developed and learned so much before our very eyes and we have One Heart Music to thank. It's the perfect consistent and reasonably priced toddler activity. Our little one has learned to take turns, put toys away, sway, dance, clap, and interact with others all while enjoying good music. She's gone from being shy to ... fearless. Highly recommend. read more

One Heart Music and George are absolutely incredible! George teaches not only rhythm and music with instruments, songs, but also through building community with littles and families, and a level of mind-body awareness that really gets through to your little ones (and yourself as a parent!). I know George to be such a dynamic teacher - rich in his knowledge and love for music and just incredibly approachable, engaging, uplifting, and uniquely masterful at what he does and the way in which he shares that spirit, humor, and fun with the families. Yes, you can find music classes with / for your little one many places, but for sure nothing like that of with One Heart Music -- the experience is truly one of a kind. My toddler and I are definitely returning! read more

We love One Heart Music. We tried several other classes but this was the first one where my son became engaged and he even asks occasionally when is music class! I've noticed that even if he's distracted in class, he's singing the songs we learned throughout the week. George is great with the kids and adapting in real time to the mood of the room and what the kids want to do (which is usually standing up, moving around and being silly). I also love the introduction to new and different instruments at the start of class. read more

George at One Heart Music is the BEST! My daughter has loved coming to his classes from an early age and still loves them as a preschooler. She can be shy but in this low pressure environment she gets involved every time! Don't hesitate to give this class a try - you won't regret it! read more

George is Amazing! Has all the fun instruments, colored sashes, Congo drums and Jelly Cat stuffed animals for everyone. He is very engaging, creative with music choices and is overalll talented.

This class is the highlight of our toddler's week! George is so talented, engaging, and sweet with the kids. My son had zero interest in another class we tried and this class he is excited to participate (and sometimes try to lead the class) the entire time. Highly recommend if you're looking for a fun class with your littles. read more

One Heart Music classes are truly the best. My daughter can be very shy and Mr. George has a way of getting her to participate and feel comfortable. He does not put pressure on kids to participate and everyone (parents included) have so much fun. He plays a variety of instruments, sings his own music, and has fun different themes/ activities each class while keeping a general structure so kids know what to expect. We are so happy we found this fantastic music class! read more

This is the absolute best musical environment and social/emotional learning for both 0 - 5 year olds AND their parent/grandparent/caretaker! If you do one class with your little, choose this one. Mr. George expresses his heart and spirit in each class. We sing a joyful blend of his original music and child favorites, and also dance to classic and modern songs. Each class incorporates unique instruments (handpan, flute, guitar, drum, etc), hands-on instruments for the kids and other tactile things (like scarves)! Above and beyond the music, there is an emphasis on being kind, building community, and working together. Both of my boys started with Mr. George well before they were 1 year old- and now our older son is 7 and is passionate about piano and rhythm in general! Seeing your child evolve from observing, to engaging, to creating music is just pure magic. Thank you so much One Heart Music! read more

Our family is a huge fan of George and One Heart Music! We have been attending for the past 5+ years. His classes are so fun and the music is great! My girls always request his music when we are in the car and look forward to his classes each week! read more

We've been going to George's classes for 9 months now. Enjoy every bit of it! Great experience for both my toddler and adults! My daughter is looking forward to the class every week, and keeps singing and plays the songs at home. George does such an amazing job engage with kids of different ages, exposes different musical instrument and genres of music, and makes original and educations songs. I can't recommend George's classes enough! read more

My family loves Mr. George and One Heart Music. We've taken all 3 kids to One Heart Music and join the classes year round. Our oldest loves to sing and dance and we totally credit One Heart Music for fostering that enjoyment of music at a young age. Thanks Mr. George! read more

Mr. George's class is very relaxed, children can be themselves, experience music in a fun way and find their own rhythm. It is by far the best class investment we've made for our son Clark. He enjoys the songs, play along movements and musical instruments. Each week has a new theme with different types of music, instruments and songs. read more

Mr. George is AMAZING! Prior to 'discovering' One Heart Music (OHM), we had tried a bunch of other music classes in town. When we stumbled upon OHM, I felt a sense of community - I love how engaged both the kids AND the parents are in every class. Mr. George makes every class fun and engaging for everyone; you can tell how passionate he is about what he does -- the energy is contagious! I really look forward to class; it's so much fun for both me and my daughter. Plus, Mr. George is a very kind person; I feel as though he has a genuine interest in each of his 'students'. I really can't say enough about how wonderful OHM is. If you're going to sign up your child for just one activity, this should be it! For reference, my little one has been going since she was about 10 months old. read more

George's music class is lots of fun for the kids and adults! My son is not the most actively engaged kid in the class but he sure learns a lot since he starts rocking out once we get home. If you're looking for a music class in a welcoming environment that your child will enjoy, I wholeheartedly recommend One Heart Music! read more

My son is shy and he loves going to the one heart music class. The class is great for kids to enjoy music, familiar themselves with different rhythms and beats. I love the fact that there's a different theme every week. My son loves to play with different instruments. George is a wonderful teacher who is patient with children. His class gets kids to interact and I highly recommend it. read more

We love George's class! It's a breath of fresh air to participate in a music class for kids that is NOT CORNY! George combines original and familiar songs, offers an array of instruments and props (parachute, scarves) and switches up the genres of music. My boys asked for guitars for Christmas so they could be like George. They look forward to music every week and ask multiple times/wk if it's a music class day. I also find it to be therapeutic somehow :). I would give this class more stars if I could! read more

This is our favorite activity that we do together as a family. George is an amazing teacher! He's great with kids & has a variety of fun songs and instruments each class. We highly recommend this music class! read more

We had so much fun in the Tummy Time music class! The instructor, George, was so warm to us, and a wonder on the guitar. The instruments and singing made my granddaughters face light up. When we started my granddaughter was just 6 months old and with each new class she grew more and more confident in herself and her surroundings. She also really enjoyed this time to interact with other babies. I was able to bond with her over music and play each week, and build relationships with other nice families too. We look forward to the next session. read more

We took our two boys to OHM. It was great for the 4 year old who loves music and had all of Mr. George's songs memorized. Our 22 month old was overwhelmed and the morning class simply left him cranky because it interfered with his mid day nap. We will try him again at a different time slot or later on when he drops his daily nap. Music has helped our speech delayed 4 year old express himself so in our house music is appreciated and encouraged. This class is a great addition to our Saturdays. We love the Pleasant Hill location and we love Mr. George's enthusiasm and talent. After we finished our 1st semester we did not hesitate to sign up again. We are lucky to have this class in P.Hill. read more

I signed up my 3yo and I for the Family Mixtape class and we LOVE it. My son looks forward to the class every week and has a lot of fun singing, dancing, and learning through music. It's a great space for families to bond, groove, and be silly. George leads the class with a lot of passion and enthusiasm. The 5 and under crowd can be tough to engage, but he offers a variety and pace that inevitably gets each child involved. I plan to continue enrolling in future sessions and highly recommend OHM to anyone looking for a children's music program! read more

This is by far the best music class my kids (and myself;) have ever been a part of. The positive energy and fun-relaxed manner George has is inspiring. My 3 kids look forward to this weekly, so do I! The best part is my kids laugh, dance, sing and love every bit of this. Thank you George for opening my Childrens heart to music. See you again for winter session. read more

We love George's music class. We have completed two sessions now and plan to keep coming. George mixes his original music with kids classics and other popular music. My daughter loves his original music and listens to it constantly on the CD that comes with the course. We plan to continue coming in the years to come and look forward to his class every week read more

George's class is phenomenal! My two sons love it and ask if they are going to music class everyday! It's very well planned and thought out. He really exposes the children to different types of music. Each week is different. Not only does he create a super interactive environment- the kids are allowed to be themselves to really enjoy the music. Every class the kids get to play with kiddie instruments to play along with the music in the background. We are definitely coming back. George is polite, fun, professional, and very entertaining!!! If you have the time to take your child to this class, you won't be disappointed I promise!!! read more

My grand daughter loves the going to her music class, George keeps the children and adult engaged in the music and songs. I love that he gives out the CD for the songs so we can enjoy it through the week. I will enroll my grand daughter in the fall class. read more
