Every child responds to music in their own way. Our instructors are trained to adapt and honor each child's way of joining in — there are no "right" or "wrong."

4 Reasons Parents Love Mommy & Me Classes

Hear What Other Parents Say

A rich music experience for your child,
ages 6 months old to 4 years old

Our highly rated signature class, Hug Melody®, is designed and led by two music instructors who are also board-certified music therapists and professional musicians.

It’s a perfect setting to introduce your toddler to music in a fun and nurturing environment.

Why Early Childhood Music

As both a board-certified music therapist and educator, I’ve seen firsthand how powerfully music can shape a child’s development.

In the earliest years, music helps children build focus, confidence, and social awareness. High-quality music experience strengthens listening skills, develops coordination, and expands their ability to communicate. These benefits go far beyond music - they support language growth, emotional expression, and healthy brain development.

Our carefully designed music activities evoke positive responses and help children develop pre-academic skills such as taking turns, sharing, and listening to others.

I created Hug Melody® Mommy & Me, with live acoustic music, original songs, and ample space for each child’s unique responses, our classes foster growth in ways that recorded music alone simply cannot.
