TESTIMONIALS & REVIEWS
DR. LISA, Client Parent
"Music therapy with Karly has been such a highlight of our spring! My 2 year old son looked so forward to his music classes each week. He is an active boy and Karly is wonderful at keeping him engaged throughout the class. She is also excellent at adapting to his needs and energy level for the day. Max gained new knowledge with each class, enjoying learning about many new instruments. Karly’s drums were of particular interest! We cannot wait to sign up again and continue on our music journey with Miss Karly!"
JANEEN, Client Parent
"Every week, we look forward to music time with Miss Karly. My son is only 18 months, and he is so engaged and excited to do his session. He has definitely taken a more active interest in his musical instruments at home. Miss Karly is so patient and calming and truly loves doing this with our kiddos. This has been one of the bright spots during our quarantine time."
SHAINA, Client Parent
"We have been participating in teacher Karly’s music lessons for a couple of months and have have been loving it! As their mom, I enjoy seeing their musical sides come out and the excitement in their faces when they see Karly on the other end!! They always know it’s going to be a ‘GOOD TIME!’"
Client Parent
"Our 4½ year old has been having virtual music sessions with Karly since the beginning of the pandemic shutdown. Karly's sessions have brought so much joy into a tough time! Our daughter loves to sing, dance, read, and play instruments with Miss Karly and she is learning basic musical concepts like rhythm, tempo, and dynamics as well. Even the baby loves to join in and gets so excited to see Miss Karly on the computer screen! We would strongly recommend music sessions with Karly for anyone interested in a fun and lighthearted introduction to music for their children.”
