Chicago staple. Sign up for a class, have fun, play music, and sign up for a class, have fun, play music, and make friends. It's the place to be. I've had great experiences with great people and good teachers

This is a review for the 0-12 mo old wiggleworms class. We went on Saturday AMs at 11. It's a busy time of the week in LP but we were always able to find parking fairly easily. The room for this class is right in the front and has a lot of natural light. It is not that big but I think they only had 5-6 families in the class. I felt that they did a really excellent job with covid precautions. All accompanying adult had to show proof of vaccination and fill out a household symptom check list before every class. I also liked that they did not allow you to bring any toys from home and that they give you an egg and scarf at the beginning of the class and you bring that each week. Our teacher was Miranda and she had such a lovely voice and although they all sing the same songs they all put their mark on the songs. The room was pretty small but it was fine since most of the kids were only in the sitting or crawling stage. I did find it hard to learn some of the songs and wish there was a playlist they could direct you to. I like that they generally since the same songs each week so that the babies become familiar with them. For the next class we decided to do it at the Lincoln location during the weekdays and that has been a good experience because there is no traffic getting there and parking is easier.

Welcoming place. Good classes of all kinds - instrument, voice, ensemble - many. If you're even half thinking about it - go. People are great and classes have students of all ages and all walks of life. Love it.
