Testimonials from Our Clients

Sprouting Melodies

The class gives my son confidence and stronger language. The cost seems somewhat expensive, but the experience is beneficial for my son.

I have done both Kindermusik and Music Together. Hands down, the content and overall experience at Sprouting Melodies was much better than either of these others.

Sprouting Melodies was the very best music class we’ve ever participated in. Meredith, you’re so good at what you do, we were never less than impressed. That said, the cost per class felt high for us, especially when you factor in not being able to make up missed classes. I know that your credentials and expertise make your class so much more than a typical music class. It still felt like more than we could/should afford.

I have found that since exposing Sydney to music (both thru the library program you held and her class)†it has become a tool that I use when introducing her to new environments to help her get more comfortable.

For example when we visited her great-grandmother in a nursing home we only went every other month or so. She was always very clinging and nervous at first so it helped if I or her great-grandmother sang some familiar songs with her.† She would warm up and start to join in and then the visit would gradually unfold.

I have also found it very helpful when introducing her to new swimming places.† Whether it be a new lake or pool other than the YMCA where she takes classes she is always very unsure and clinging in the water at first.† If we sing some familiar songs and splash around in the water she gets warmed up and then swims normally.

I have just found that music is a fun way that she likes to communicate and it has an emotional connection for her.

EMARC Afterschool Groups

Language has definitely improved and he is quicker to respond and try to imitate.

The benefits from facilitated socialization and the structure of the program really reinforces pro-social skills.

It is great to see her involved in an activity she loves so much.

This is a great program. We really enjoyed it.

I cannot say enough about this program. It was like it was made for my son individually. Yet all of the other students are benefitting as well. I’m so glad we’ve tried it because it is something I know we will continue.

We just LOVE music therapy!

The therapist is amazing. She is very talented and we truly enjoyed the program.

Party/Group Entertainment

Meredith came to perform for the kids at one of our local mom’s group events. She was able to engage all of the children, who varied in age from 2-15. She succeeded in having all the kids, regardless of age, participate in the fun by providing interesting instruments and making the musical experience into a game. The younger kids liked dancing, and the older kids loved to try all the instruments. Even the adults got involved. It was great! All the moms who were there raved about the fun their kids had at the event. Thanks Meredith for making my turn at hosting mom’s group turn out to be a huge success!
