“My son just loves your class, and so do I. It is a highlight of our week. It brings me such joy to see him interact with you and the other children and parents. I admire your talent and ease with the kids. And you notice and compliment each child in very specific ways. Everyone’s budding skills are recognized and appreciated. Sara’s BabyRhythms Class is one of our favorite activities!”
-       Karie

My two-year-old daughter looks forward to Sara's class all week long and sings the songs from class all the time, as do I!”

Creative, educational, and fun music classes with a growing community of friends geared toward babies and toddlers.

Baby Rhythms classes are appropriate for age 6 months through age 3. Class sizes are approximately 5-10 children with their caregiver(s). We will sing, dance, play instruments, and play musical games. All "mouthed" instruments will be washed between use. All other instruments will be regularly sanitized. I am available on afternoons and weekends for small classes in your home or yard, as well as for birthday parties and other family gatherings! Please contact me for details and pricing.

What Does My Child Learn?
Music enables us to be humanly unique in a way that no other subject can. The creation, study, and sharing of music can contribute powerfully toward our well-being—emotional, social, and cognitive—as well as to our development as a whole. Children who are musically engaged experience intrinsic joy, as well as important feelings of belonging, meaning, confidence, and competence.

As you and your child move, sing, and play in a variety of musical experiences, you are becoming attuned not only to the emotional content and formal structure of music, but to each other as well!

In Sara’s class, children learn through imitation, observation, experimentation, and self-initiation. Babies, toddlers, and children explore their voices, dance, move, play instruments, music games, and more. Many styles and genres of music are introduced. Children learn to anticipate musical patterns, and react to the changes they hear through movement and instrument play.  Formal music learning and play happen almost simultaneously in fun and creative ways. Many musical skills and concepts are being introduced all the time!
