"Joining Ms Joley's class mid-pandemic on video with a young toddler was an interesting endeavor. The benefits included: a nice change in our daily routine, a new, fun way to interact with my grand-daughter, my grand-daughter learning how to be a good "student", tapping into the love of music she naturally has, getting some good physical exercise, learning how to move her body, hands and vocal chords and the instruments, and my being educated in music and child development theory and applications. Ms. Joley's patience and flexibility was also greatly appreciated. I also appreciated the curriculum and the quality and types of musical instruments that came with the first music kit. Thank you Ms. Joley for your dedication and the work you do to inspire music appreciation and tap into children's imaginations and capabilities."

"Music is important to our lives. My son, who was barely talking this time last year, came home from his Musikgarten class singing the songs and we watched as his language exploded through the help of music. Ms. Joley is wonderful! We love her and the Musikgarten class. Ms. Joley is kind and animated, so every class time is wonderful. Thank you, Ms. Joley!! We always look forward to your classes!!"

"Just wanted to share this:  Lila played several songs on the piano for family on Christmas Day. Then tonight while at her grandparents house she randomly played Ode to Joy on the the toy xylophone they have in a toy box. So fun to see her excitement for music and exploring with it. Grateful for the gift you are sharing with her!"
