See what our parents and students have to say about our classes.
"My daughter now sings the "goodbye" song every night before going to bed, and we must sing it to everyone we know in her whole world! She loves Frances and Music Together®! " (mom of a 2 year old)
"Noelle started this semester so quiet and shy, and after only a few weeks, she is singing and dancing non stop. She is even creating her own songs and musical games. One night when the 4 grandparents were baby sitting her, she made them sing, dance and improvise "Jumpin Josie". They were happily exhausted the next morning" (mom of a 3 year old)
"My son who has special needs, lives for this class! He has 6 therapies a week, but when he knows he is coming to music with Frances, his eyes shine and he starts singing and clapping to most of the songs, that he knows by heart now. It is incredible! He has never reacted so enthusiastic to anything else we've tried. It has helped him in every way, and for us is a treat too!"
(Parent of a 3 and a 5 year old)
"This class is the highlight of our week. Then we keep singing with the CD and showing dad what we both learned. We have so much fun in and out of the class through this program" (Parent of a 1year old, started at 6 months)
"We have been together for about 4 years now and can't imagine not being around you. It's a great environment for both Isabella and the "Grandparents" And Nicholas still likes coming when he's not in school! We love you! (grandparents of 2 and 5 year old children)
"We have a book shelf at home, and the MT books are all there. My daughter point sot them and says: "Frances Books!" and then she opens a page and starts singing and making all kinds of sounds and movements. I love all the connections that she is making internally through this program. It is incredible!"

"We feel so lucky to have Frances as our music teacher! Her love for children and music shines through in every class!

It has been amazing to watch my 15 month old daughter chant and sing at home even when the CD is not playing. She makes the "Fireworks" song even better than her 3 year old sister.

I wanted to tell you that I took the music cd to New York with me, so the great grandparents could get an idea of what the music class is like. Nicholas was a star! He danced and twirled and made everyone laugh! It was a great time for all. He also found a big tin container the size of a drum. I gave him wooden spoons and the rest of us had plastic cups. Without the music, Nicholas banged on the tin and we all followed suit... When he stopped we stopped. He was in his glory leading our band! He kept drumming and stopping for about 20 minutes doing different beats each time he drummed. It was a great musical game!
Thank-you again Frances... These music classes are teaching both Nicholas and I to explore and be relaxed enough to share our music with ourselves and others whenever the mood strikes!
Nene Canning, Nicholas' grandmo.

This class is so wonderful! I love it, I don't want it to be over. It is not only great for my son, but for me, it is relaxing, it is like therapy. I am so happy I joined. I will try to bring my other son too, because he is already singing the music with the cd, and I want him to have the opportunity to enjoy the class too.
Ilene, Joshua and Jarred's mom

My 3 year old daughter, after she heard the jazzy version of the "Hey Diddle Diddle" song, figured out she can sing songs with different melodies. You should hear her new version of the "A, B, C, D" song, she is simply fabulous. it's amazing how both my children are getting so much out of the same program. they are in different developmental stages, and can apply what they learn at their own level, both great!

I am very impressed with how you can keep everybody's attention for such a long time. Keeping all this kids happy, at this age, it's not easy. This is a great class!

"Frances is so captivating to the babies that mine, who I can't get to
sit
in one place for 2 minutes, plants herself in front of Frances, stares
at
her in wonder and won't budge - especially when she brings the guitar
out!"
Karen, Lia's mom

" My daughter was crying in the car. I came, and when she saw the Music Together building she started to smile "

You guys have no idea what this class means to me! I have found in this room a sense of community that I have not found anywhere else so far. I feel at home!
