Heartsong Music

As a nervous first-time mom, I wanted to expose my newborn baby to music making and singing as early as possible. I researched for music classes in Austin and after reviewing studios on Yelp, I decided to do a demo at Heartsong. I immediately enrolled because I loved the class so much! My baby was 2 months old when we started, and she actually slept almost the entire class for the first weeks.

We enrolled for 3 semesters (babies class 0-8mo at first, then mixed age 0-5yr) and had a fantastic experience. Why I recommend Heartsong: - The songs are very engaging, catchy, rhythmic, and introduce pop culture aspects to children (popular songs, themes.) They include a lot of repetition, important musical patterns, etc, that help develop musicality in children - The classes are interactive, conducive to play and learning, have guided movements for children and parents, and are engaging from beginning to end - Our instructor shared many tips for music making at home, parenting tips, positive effect of music in development, etc. Vanessa truly loves working with children and families, and we got to know her very well over the months that she was our teacher - The teachers are extremely kind, fun, engaging, and knowledgeable (our teacher was Vanessa for all semesters, but we did make-ups with other teachers that were also fantastic) - The staff is very friendly and the studio is clean, organized, inviting for children, and provides many accommodations for families I also appreciated that the studio had a payment plan option, as the classes are a bit pricey (although average for music classes in the Area.) It's important to commit to attending all classes (or complete make-ups) in order to get as much out of it as possible. Additionally, families should aim to listen to songs at home daily in order to reinforce the concepts learned in class with the babies/children!

We parted ways with the studio because we enrolled in another kind of music class, but still listen to the songs very often through the app and have jam sessions with my daughter and nephews!

Such and amazing experience, my daughter and I have been going since she was 2 months old she is now 15 months a and loves her music class! on a bad day music together saves the day.

Best music classes for parent and toddlers by far! Love the teachers and staff.

My 12 month old daughter loves coming here, and I do too! It has been so fun watching her come out of her shell and start participating in class over these past few months. We are in Becca's class and my daughter absolutely adores her. At 45 minutes, I was really worried the class would be too long to hold her attention, but the time really does fly by.

They have a great play area out front for before and after class. Also, everything is super clean and they take great care to clean the instruments and toys that end up in the mouth. All of the other parents are great too and are very respectful about not bringing sick children to class.

My 2-year old and I attended a 12-week series of classes with Vanessa and it was a total pleasure. She was a wonderful teacher for children (and adults!) and I found the class fun for both of us. I also learned a lot. My kiddo has started singing the songs on his own and we'll definitely be going back.

My son absolutely loves going to music class. It makes us happy for the rest of the day. He’s constantly singing songs he has learned.

We cannot say enough good things about Heartsong Music. My son and I absolutely love it! We completed the babies class with Sally over summer, and I saw my son become so much more alert and into music! Sally was wonderful-- very engaging and fun. We are excited to become a long-term Heartsong family, as we continue into the mixed age classes. Totally worth the price!

I have throughly enjoyed watching my 2 year old daughter LOVE Heartsong! Her language has also developed tremendously during our short seven weeks here. We are in Ms. Becca's class and I highly recommend Heartsong and her! It's also nice to meet other Mommies, everyone is so great.

Music together is a wonderful program and has taught my kids so much. Heartsong Music goes above and beyond to teach this program in a way that truly connects with all of us. The teachers genuinely love the kids and the classes are ao much fun. As an adult, I've never had so much fun learning ♡♡♡ we are so thankful for Heartsong music!

We took three grandchildren ages two and three and five for an introduction class, open house today. It was a great experience, not only for the children but for us as well. My wife and I are both lifelong educators and it was immediately apparent that the teaching methods involved were fun, educational, interactive and not only taught rhythm and music but also it was a good exercise.

I can't imagine this not being beneficial to almost any child. Rachel, the leader of our group did a terrific job of teaching, making it enjoyable for all people involved and appeared as if she was having a good time herself. In addition, the person that met us at the door was enthusiastic and immediately made us feel welcome. We appreciated the experience and are going enroll the children soon.

We love Heartsong and all that my daughter takes from it. We take the class at Autumn Leaves Memory Care and cannot brag enough on Liz and the class!

Love this music school. Amazing teachers. A great play area for the kids to hang out before and/ or after class. The rooms are spacious and bright. Everyone is very friendly and helpful. We were very happy to find this place upon moving to Austin.

We love Heartsong! We just wrapped up our first ten week session with our now nine month old son, and we are excited for the next one to start. The classes have such a relaxed and fun environment, and we appreciate the freedom to let our son do his thing while there. We don't have to corral him, and there aren't any "off-limits" areas. Our boy is absolutely star struck by his teacher Alyssa, and he loves to crawl over to sit at her feet for much of the class.

That really speaks to the environment she creates in her classes; it's such a fun, sweet time of exploration every week! We've loved getting to know and sing many of the same songs over the session (this one was a drum focus), but it never gets stale or boring because Alyssa brings out different instruments and manipulatives each week (sticks, handbells, parachute, ribbons, scarves, etc.).

We did use the make up class option once after our little dude missed a class due to RSV, and that was simple and convenient because there are so many class times to choose from. However, it was really fun to see how our little class became such a community over the past couple of months. I'm looking forward to seeing many of the same faces when the next session starts!

Just finished the fall session and registered for the upcoming winter session because we loved it so much. After the demo class ("babies class" for 8 months and younger), I signed my baby up for two babies classes a week and I am glad I did. These music classes have been good for both me and my baby. As a mom (first time mom), I learned a lot about general baby development, how to play with him at home, and how to incorporate music into his life. Getting out of the house and interacting with other moms was really great.

Everyone was supportive of one another and shared their experiences from dealing with sleep regression to finding a perfect top to cover a mom butt. My baby got to socialize with other babies. And it seems that he learned from observing other babies also. It could have been a coincidence, but my baby learned to roll first back to tummy and later tummy to back both times after a music class during which he so closely observed older babies rolling over.

He took a good nap after each class. Also he loves all the music. When he gets fussy, we play the CD, and it almost always calms him down pretty quickly. My husband calls it a magic. I would like to also add that they give out information sheet about how they clean the instruments in the beginning of the session. Highly recommend this place! I did the demo with Becca (my winter session will be also with her), and my instructors for the fall session were Michelle and Vanessa. All three are awesome.

I took my daughter to a demo class 3 years ago and my family has continued with Heartsong since. "Hello Everybody" is a song family and friends near and far have heard my kids sing. The CDs are always on in the car.

Music class was great. Instructor was energetic and you could tell she loved her job.but was still disappointed because most of the music instruments looked old and dirty. Sick kids in the class. (Which is always inevitable ) but I watched some of them suck on instruments. and put them back in the bins.ready to infect the next child. :(

Excellent experience for kids and parents. Try demo classes and special events to decide if you like and which teacher would fit you better.

Can't vouch for the music part of it, I just do prenatal yoga here. However, I love this homey little space and definitely want to bring my kid here when he's big enough to jam out!

OK, we went to the demo class today and had an absolute ball. And what's better than that? The fact that my child slept for 2+ hours directly afterwards, starting on the short car ride on the way home. Yes. Wear my child out with fun. I like you people! We'll be signing up for the next semester directly.!

We were only able to do a free sample class so far, but it was great! My daughter loved it. It is a very open place and there is no wrong way for the kids to sing or play music. It was great what all they teach! We can't wait to take the clss!
