Music.4.life

"At first I was hesitant to make time to take my baby to a music class; I thought "I can play music for my baby at home, why do I need a class for it?" But after the first class, I was hooked! This class is SO much more than just singing and dancing! Every thing you do during class has a purpose and encourages growth and development, so much more than I could do by myself at home. Ms. Betsy is incredibly knowledgeable and explains why each song/dance/activity is important, and what part of the baby's development we are working on and why. I thought I was signing up for this class for my baby, and didn't realize at the time how much I would benefit from it myself. Especially early on (we started going when my baby was 8 weeks old), I really appreciated the socialization with other moms. There is always some time at the beginning and end of class to talk, share stories, ask questions, etc. I feel connected to the other moms (and dads) in this class and have definitely made some good friends. There is never any pressure during the class, and Ms. Betsy and the other parents are always very accepting. If your baby needs to crawl around while everyone else is standing and dancing, that is ok. If you need to feed your baby while everyone else is singing, that is ok. It's a very easy, comfortable environment to be in. Every week, both my daughter and I look forward to seeing Ms. Betsy and all of our friends at music! I totally recommend!!"

"We have been attending Kindermusik since our daughter was 2 months old. Miss Betsy has provided an amazing learning environment through music for her and it was been such a joy as a parent to watch her grow and develop during these classes. Miss Betsy has a gift for knowing the children's needs and adjust the classes to ensure each child is getting the most out of the experience. In speaking with other friends in and out of the class I believe that Kindermusik offers the best musical enrichment your child can have. Miss Betsy is unmatched with her 20+ years in musical teaching. It is also a great avenue to meet others parents and let your child mingle with other kids."

"My son & I took our first Kindermusik class when he was around 6 months old. He was fascinated by music and the class lent itself to really special, quality time for the two of us together. Betsy is amazing with both moms AND kids of all ages and needs!! We continued with Kindermusik off and on for 4 more years, whenever I could afford a semester and it fit with our schedule. We even had grandparents pay for classes as Christmas/birthday gifts. I went through a very tough divorce during these years, but Betsy and the other moms became a bright spot for us each week and even as a struggling single mom, sacrificing other luxuries for Kindermusik with my son was well worth it. We took classes with 3 different teachers and adored all of them! Now my son is turning 6 years old and has been taking private violin lessons with Ellyn for 8 months. She is fantastic, too. Whenever I get the music 4 life emails and read the descriptions of the baby and toddler classes, I get nostalgic for those days gone by for our family...but I know that means Music 4 Life has left us with some absolutely wonderful memories."

"Our pediatrician introduced us to Kindermusik 2 years ago when our daughter was 1.5 years old. We enrolled after our trial class and our daughter has been with Miss Betsy class since. She has grown tremendously under Betsy's loving care and guidance weekly. My daughter & I always enjoy our time at Betsy's classes. We are blessed to have Betsy as OUR teacher!"

"We have attended Kindermusik classes at Music4Life for the past 3 years. We love it. I really feel like it is quality music education for my boys. My older son transitioned easily into the violin after completing the Kindermusik curriculum. Also, Betsy is personable and easy to work with as far as scheduling and make ups and such. Definitely worth our time and money each week."
