What People Say

See what our parents and students have to say about our classes.

"Naomi's passion for music, her expertise as an instructor and her affection for my son are the main reasons I believe William constantly sings little songs and spontaneously creates when he should be napping or sings along with the radio damn near perfectly even if he can't pronounce the lyrics as we drive or plays with anything he can pound to make a sound."
-Alex, dad to William, in MT since 4 months, and new addition, Johanna

We have been back in Tokyo for almost a year. We don't have immediate plans to go back to Brooklyn, or to the U.S. for that matter, but I'm happy to report that Koharu, now almost two, goes to a nursery school and teachers there often tell us that she just loves to sing and dance. I personally believe this is because of her early exposure to Music Together®. I can confirm this because when I did that "little frog who drinks up all the water in the bathtub" for the first time after a year, note that we have not spoken to her in English at all, she immediately started to do the hands and singing! It's amazing how much of what she experienced between the ages of 6 to 10 months is still blooming in her. We have been busy for moving across the Pacific and settling down but it's definitely one of my new year's resolutions to sing and listen to music with her more often."

"My daughter and I attended Music Together and we loved it. I took her from the time she was 6 months until she was 14 months and we stopped only because we moved to CA. I am a dance instructor for babies and parents and I design these interactive classes so I feel like I can say with some authority that Naomi teaches a nice class."
Jessica, mom to Sienna

"My son loves music together! It has been very fun to watch him become increasingly engaged in the sessions over the past few months. Naomi is full of energy and enthusiam, her love for music and the children really makes the class special."

Aeri., mother to 14 month-old boy
Aeri adds: "we just got back from a ten-hour car ride. The Music Together cds saved our trip!! It was just about the only thing that would get him to calm down."

"Naomi is great at teaching kids and parents about the nature of music.
Her enthusiasm is infectious! I now feel I know a lot more about how to
incorporate music into the day to day experiences I have with my child.
And it was a lot of fun!"

Judah, Father of Anders 10 months old.

"Your class has been such a wonderful experience for Oliver (and me)
and we continue to listen to all of the MT CDs. In fact, 5 of the 6
discs in our CD player at home are from MT and it's amazing how he recalls
the things we did in class - sometimes several semesters later! Just
last week, he started doing this mixing motion with 2 hands together as
if he was in the kitchen when the "Sweet Potato" song came on. It
brought a smile to my face and I thought you'd be proud to know."

Tom, Daddy to Oliver, now off to first grade!

"My son and I had never been to a music class before, but when his little brother was born, I decided it was time to have a place that he and I could go to
together and get away from the stress of home -- a place where he could dance and sing and play with kids his own age. We were so lucky to have stumbled upon
Naomi's class, as it not only taught him how to listen, mimic others, play instruments, and start to hum and sing, but it provided a warm and loving
atmosphere. Naomi was always attentive to his needs and when she would dance with him his eyes would light up. He couldn't wait to give her a hug at the end of
every class. And as soon as we left, he talked about it for the whole week, until we were back again."

I remember, before I was sure that I was able to have children, watching Naomi's Music Together class from behind the door at my synagogue , where the class is held. I was fascinated. I was fascinated at how expert a teacher Naomi, my shul friend, appeared to be, a side of her I was not then familiar with, and of how simply wonderful the class seemed. I longed for it to me my turn to be with my child in that class. G-d was kind to me and I eventually got that turn. The first class I attended with my almost 6 month old twins was a very moving experience. When we got to the lullaby part at the end of class I fought back tears. Frankly, I still feel that way at the end of most of Naomi's amazing classes. That was almost 5 years ago. Since then I have had the privilege of attending Naomi's Music Together Classes not only with my twins, but with their baby sister who is now two and a half. This Summer, while the twins were in camp, I attended class with the baby. This felt particularly special and poignant. For one thing, I am a Music Together veteran now. I am less obsessed with whether the kid I am in class with is shaking her instrument perfectly. I am familiar with the catchy songs and I feel like I am the one taking and enjoying the class now. So I focus less on the child I am with, and, ironically, this makes a better experience for both of us. We both just engage. I learned through Naomi's guidance that my kids will model me making music, and that it does not matter if I can not really carry a tune; it is more the fact that I enjoy music that I am imparting. My baby is almost 3, and entering a nearly full time pre-school program in September. Alas, MT might be over for me now, I think this is the last of my kids. I realize in retrospect how much I actually learned about music, about parenting, and about myself in Naomi's classes. This is not just something to do to pass the time with your kid. It is an experience every parent and child should have. Naomi's Music Together Class is the best program of this kind that I could recommend spending your hard earned money and precious time on."
