My son loved the musical instruments and singing as well as the opportunity to dance and move his body. Because of the way the teachers would gently transition the children between activities with a (very cute) song, he never had a hard time moving on to the new activity and giving up an instrument. It's hard to take a new object from a toddler (particularly my toddler!), but because of the way the class was structured, he would gladly give up his drum or shaker and felt pride in being part of the process. Besides learning music and working on his motor skills, he practiced really important social skills. We had a wonderful experience at Junior Musical Explorers and highly recommend it to any parent or caregiver looking for a music class for their child.

Our daughter Mia loves her music classes. She has been in the Junior Musical Explorers since she was one and a half, and is about to transition to Musical Explorers. She comes home singing songs and asks for music in her room all the time. She has learned a lot about rhythm and can sing loud and soft, fast and slow. Her musical toys are getting a lot of use, and we play them together.
The teachers are good -- it is clear that they truly enjoy their students, and have a real commitment to bringing music and musical awareness into children's lives. You could not ask for a better class, for a mix of fun and real learning! I highly recommend it.

Musical Explorers was the best possible first class for our daughter! With gentle encouragement and positive reinforcement, Yoon provides a structured yet flexible environment where children learn to follow group activities and pick up musical fundamentals in a fun and natural way. Our daughter will be so ready for preschool and, eventually, music lessons as a result of her very happy experience with this course.

Musical Explorers introduced my son to actual musical terms. The talent, training and professionalism of the Musical Explorers staff is what sets M.E. apart from other early music programs. At four, my child was able to bond with the warm, gifted teachers so the transition to private piano lessons with an M.E. instructor at age five was a breeze.
