Making Music Academy has been a huge part of my daughter’s life since 4 months of age. The staff (TerriLynn and Jill) who teach her class are phenomenal. They have created a true sense of community and support for parents.
We celebrated her first birthday last week at MMA with a music class party hosted by Jill. It was everything we wanted and more. Highly recommend doing this! Children ages 6 months - 8 years were in attendance and all loved Jill’s class! Thank you, MMA🩷

My boys attended the Making Music Academy summer camp, and they enjoyed it a lot. They have been to a number of other camps, but they were genuinely excited to go each day, and they made friends with others at the camp as well. The experience they had playing different instruments was great, and I find they both developed interest in taking lessons in the future. The teachers were great with the kids, and super friendly and excited to run their camp as well which counts for a lot. I felt the kids were well taken care of and safe as well. Having the performance at the end of the week was a very cool add-on as well. Overall, great experience!

Excellent programs for toddlers and small kids.

I have had my 2.5 year old son in the program since he was 2 months old and it’s been a great way to teach and interact with him. I plan to take my new daughter there as well!! Also great place to meet other parents with similar interests and experiences!

I am a Dayhome provider for two sweet little girls. Two years ago one of their parents asked if I’d be interested in taking them to a music class to try, I said sure why not. Well little did we know how that class would become such a huge enjoyable part of our weekly routine. The kids simply love all aspects of this class. The different instruments they get to try, the songs they learn, special things like parachutes and bubbles that just add a little extra. There are weekly themes which we get a kick out of by adding matching pieces to our outfits and bringing toys that go along. They love meeting and getting to know other kids and adults which is so important for their social skills. And not only do the kids get so much from this experience, it’s easy to see the parents/grandparents/childcare providers all enjoy it too. One of the first “survival” tips I learned as a parent myself was getting out with your child was SOOO important for mental health. This class is one of the weekly joys that does that for us. I highly recommend trying it to anyone. 🙂

I signed up for one of Terilyn’s classes during the peak of my postpartum anxiety. I wasn't sure how I would get out of the house, I was a hot mess by the time I got to the event, it was raining, the baby wasn’t napping well, and I thought there was no way anything could be worth this much work while my days were already feeling so difficult. But I was so wrong, and SO happy I went. Being surrounded by other moms who could recognize the hard season of life I was in and support me in that was so nice. I had some great conversations there that I so desperately needed. Also, seeing my son genuinely so excited to participate and clap along and be engaged in ways I couldn't replicate at home was so nice. Taking a Making Music Academy class with your little should be a health and well being recommendation for all parents but new parents especially. Sometimes you don’t know how bad you need a community of other parents until you find them 🤍 The music and all its benefits was just a beautiful bonus for me.

We love making music academy classes! We attended a pop up class the summer at a beautiful outdoor location where myself and my son got to enjoy the sunshine and great music. Their new studio is gorgeous and the kids love the classes; they are both fun and educational!

We love the classes and sessions at Making Music! Our baby loves the sensory classes as well as anything group related. The summer outdoor baby classes were amazing.

So much thought and care goes into the planning of every session, and the students just glow when they are there.

Highly recommend!

Our whole family loves Making Music Academy. Myself and my husband get to sit and relax while our two kids have so much fun. We have been attending since our two year old was a young baby (before she could even sit!) and now our youngest (3 month old) attends regularly as well. Music class brings us so much joy.
