Music Together Testimonials
Here's what students and participants are saying about Music Together and director and teacher Theresa Jones:"The Music Together program has been a great introduction to music for both my 2 year old and 5 year old. Theresa's enthusiasm is infectious and as a parent I find myself just as eager to attend the classes as my children! We feel lucky to have found a class that caters to children at many different stages of their music development. Not only is the music dynamic and engaging, but the parent education component enhances the learning experience."
--Laura Caistor, Castro Valley, CA"Theresa has a great sense of humor and the wonderful ability to help children get into the world of music. She has helped my son, Nathan, love music through her lively classes since Nathan was one. Nathan, now 3, often hums and sings on his own during play or school to express his joy.
Theresa is a teacher with true talent and passion for children and music, and it is evident in her work with our family."
"My epiphany came outside of class while playing one of my favorite Music Together songs. When I looked at my 14-month old daughter, I was stunned to see her raise her hands to her ears and curl her fingers, just like we did in class and exactly on cue with the music. Theresa had told us that our daughter would react to musical cues and the proof was now undeniable. With a cool and professional demeanor, Theresa encourages parents to take the classroom lessons home. And we do. We dance. We clap. We make up words. If we could take the parachute home from class, we'd play with that too! Will I sign up again? Definitely."
--Gerhard Matzen, Castro Valley, CA"When it comes to dance, my five year old is very good at memorizing and copying the teacher's movements, but before 'the magic of Music Together' her movements always seemed stiff and separate from the music. In dance class last Friday, all of a sudden, she seemed to forget about the specific movements and just let her body flow with the music. She danced so beautifully!
-- Karina Leung, Castro Valley, CA"We love the open easy family atmosphere and my boys are both so musical you would think they were born with it! They make instruments out of just about everything in our house and sing along to all the songs they know. Even Sam who doesn't even have many words yet.
We have so much fun playing music and singing and dancing in and out of class.
Teacher Theresa has so much love for music and a real passion for children being involved in music, and that enthusiasm brings out the joy in our music time!"
