The curriculum incorporates diverse musical styles from jazz to global folk traditions, ensuring comprehensive musical exposure.

We absolutely love TMC! Our toddler loves the songs and has started to do some of the accompanying dance moves in and out of class. This is a great way to introduce your child to music and have them start practicing motor skills. I am so happy we chose to join TMC!

My son (1 year old) absolutely loves the music class. He has so much fun each class and we continue the songs at home. It really is a joy to see him so happy and engaged at such a young age. I've already recommended the class to my friends and can't wait to enroll again.

We love the Music Class. It was the first activity that we enrolled our toddler in. A year later, we have enrolled in every season. Our toddler LOVES attending and even pulls out her music book and instruments when she's home. They have also been phenomenal with safety during COVID and take every precaution. We can't recommend enough!

We are currently on our third session of The Music Class. We have used two instructors so far and both have been great! My daughter gets so excited when she sees The Music Class building and she starts to jump up and down. It is her absolute favorite thing! She loves the instructors, other students, and of course all the music! She especially loves the wide variety of instruments offered.

We absolutely love The Music Class! We started at this location 2 years ago and continue to enroll in every session. We have been with Ms. Meredith for the majority of our classes, she is energetic and fun and the kids really gravitate to her. The positive benefits of surrounding children with music is evident. Even the students that are just a few months old are engaged and participating in their own ways. We really enjoy our time at The Music Class and look forward to going to class each week!
