100% of the parents who participated in the trial classes commented in the survey that the quality of the classes were “beyond their expectations!!”
“Hug Music is the best music school we’ve found in the area. They focus on personal attention with their small class size, we love their philosophy in exposing children while listening and playing acoustic live music Instruments throughout the class. My son loves attending their music sessions, and we really enjoy their nurturing school environment… ”
— H, a mother of a 2-year-old boy
“My son Andrew and I started attending mommy and me music classes at Hug Music in the Fall of 2017. As a new mother I was scared to bring my 15 month old son to class thinking he wouldn’t be able to sit still and pay attention. However being an elementary school music teacher myself, I knew it was very important for his social and emotional development. I wanted my son’s first experiences with music and education to be extremely positive. Sasha and Kana immediately provided a very nurturing and positive environment for learning. Their lessons were very engaging and extremely enjoyable. Kana and Sasha treat their students like their extended family. My son loves them very much and wants to listen to their cds at home all the time. My son is now 2 and a half and says he wants to take guitar lessons so he can play like Sasha. We had gone to several other mommy and me trial classes in the area but nothing compared to the quality curriculum and high standards set by the teachers of Hug Music. I would highly recommend this program to any parent looking to instill a love of music in their child. ”

“Hug Music is the best! My daughter was a bit shy at first, but due to the small class size (6 students max) and nurturing instructors, Kana and Sasha, she’s really blossomed into trying all the instruments and practices singing at home. She loves her Saturday classes!!! ”
