"Both of my grandsons have participated in "Sing Along With Katie" It's a wonderful introduction to live music. Katie is warm, fun and very inclusive. The little ones are spellbound by her energy. Her choices on music, depending on the season and holidays, are perfect for engaging the children .Thank you Katie!"

"Katie is pure magic! I've taken all three of my kids to her music classes and I can't say enough about them. They are always fun, interactive and a great accessible way to introduce music to little ones. I love when I catch my kids singing along to her songs outside of class!" Testimonial by Laura O.
