MORE THAN A CLASS!

There's so much more going on in the studio than music making. You don't just come to a class and then leave. Snack and chat and instrument exploration make it a very special time. Parenting concerns are supported with articles, conversation and families sharing. You will be equipped with simple activities to take home and enjoy together over and over.

Newcomers are welcomed with open arms, playgroups are formed as well as life long friendships. We are one big extended family, sharing our joy and sometimes our sorrow. Many families return year after year with new siblings.

Personal space is always respected for those who prefer not to socialize. It's unlike any music program in Washtenaw County. I hope you will come visit. Come and see what it's all about and help me celebrate over 30 glorious years of Music For Little Folks.

Music can be your best friend. Learn finger plays, melodies, support tummy time, enjoy nursery rhymes, chants & massage. Together we will waltz, folk dance, take sheet rides, explore instruments, sing lullabies & more. Share hugs & laughter & learn techniques to turn cranky to calm.
