JOIN US AT AN UPCOMING EVENT!
The Family Music Class is an interactive music and movement experience for young children (0-5) and their parents or other special adults. Our classes give children the space to explore and flourish in a low-pressure environment while supporting the development of the whole child. They will build foundational skills for life as we sing, dance, and play along to a variety of traditional, original, and popular music.

Jennie Kratz, Owner and Teacher
In 1999, my Mom quit her corporate job to spend more time with her kids. She returned to her music-loving roots and started teaching parent-child music classes, often bringing me with her. By the time I was a teenager, I could lead classes myself and had a passion that would guide my university studies. In 2023, we came together to create our own program and unique curriculum: The Family Music Class.
"We are huge fans of The Family Music Class! Our son has been going for over a year and my husband and I get so much joy out of watching him sing, dance, and play. Even when he was first starting out and warming up to the idea, he was soaking up everything like a sponge so although he mostly watched during class he would sing the songs and dance at home. Now he does all those things during class, too, and has started making up his own songs at home.
"We can’t say enough good things about The Family Music Class. Truly the best part of our week!"
--Becki L.
"The Family Music class is simply magical. If you are looking for a way to bond and have a blast with your baby/toddler then sign up!!! Right now. You won't regret it. We started taking our baby around 7 months old. He picked up so many new skills and interests by attending weekly music class.
"We also had equally as much fun. When is the last time you laughed and danced in a field while throwing scarves in the air? As a two mom family we really wanted to find a welcoming space to be a family and we definitely have found that!! Thank you Family Music Class!!!"
