The absolute best music class for little ones in the area! I'm an elementary school music teacher by trade, and as a professional in the field I've seen my fair share of mommy and me music classes. This one is just incredible! Ms. Joanne and her staff are full of joy and love for what they do, and it's so apparent in each and every session. Wonderful songs, fun instruments, total engagement all around! There's no better class for developing early musicianship - highly recommend!

If you are looking for a music program for your child, look no further. This class has been the most amazing experience for my children from as little as 1 year olds. The joy Miss Joanne brings to each class has truly made a difference in theirs. She even went on to provide incredible Zoom classes and access to her class during the pandemic and it has been such a breath of fresh air. We are so grateful for everything that Musical Munchkins has provided for our children. Sheer joy!

My daughter loved Musical Munckins! She made so many friends and built social skills like sharing in this class. The class was action packed and it went so quick. Afterwards, she wouldn't make it home without passing out in the backseat.

Musical Munchkins is an incredible program for young children! I've recommended it to many of my friends who have all started their littles. All three of my children have absolutely loved it! Ms. Joanne is a passionate & lovely teacher who engages the children and keeps them singing and learning! Mine have started as early as 6 months old and my oldest who is 4 (& a half!) still asks to go see Ms. Joanne. 100 stars

Ms. Joanne is fabulous! I can't say enough positive things about her program. Musical Munchkins has been a great experience for our family. We started with Zoom classes during the pandemic and recently moved to outdoor classes. Ms. Joanne is kind, patient, engaging with the children, and really takes the time to make each child feel special. I highly recommend Musical Munchkins!
