Thank you for inviting us into your family circles. We are so grateful for the time we spend together, the fun we have and for your kind words!

I've been going to Music Together® for 3 years now, It has not only changed my life… but the way I see how my children, appreciate, respond, and develop musically…and its so much FUN!

When my wife first told me about Music Together, and how it was interactive, I reacted with some skepticism and sarcasm, because I was really afraid of having to show up and be musical in front of others. I won't say it happened right away, but at some point I started to enjoy the classes, and then I started to look forward to them, and then to miss them when there was no class or when I couldn't go. I have learned to love just singing out, and adding my voice to the others fully, and without fear that the result won't be good enough. You have opened such a huge door inside me by creating a safe place, and by just being who you are. Watching you in that class is exhilarating. You share yourself so freely and completely, and that is a beautiful gift to our children and to us. So now, I get why it's called "MusicTogether", because I see that you are fostering the love and expression of music in all of us, and I experience that every week!

Emily and I just wanted to say "THANK YOU" for a great 10 week semester. We have truly loved Music Together and I am constantly amazed by how much Emily picks up in class, even if it doesn't always seem like she is paying attention, and then repeats at home. From the very first few classes her favourites were "Hiiiii, Lowwwww", which she has taught every other adult who comes into our home, "Me, You, We", "Trot Old Joe" and so much more. And she has practically memorized the songs from the Bells Collection. It is really amazing. She will hear the first few notes and then start singing the words. I had tried other classes with Emily to get her out and socializing more with other kids and we have not loved anything as much as Music Together. I love the way Music Together is set up and it really does bring out so much in the kids, and it's made me less shy about singing and dancing too. Anyway, just wanted to say thank you and let you know how much we really love the class.

Thank you so much for encouraging and supporting Madelyn’s growth over the past two semesters. She has learned so much from Music Together and it is all because of a wonderful teacher like you who understands her personality, meets her where she’s at and encourages her to try new things. I am so grateful that we found you!

I feel so blessed that I have Alex in this program and again I thank you and your staff for this extremely important work you do. Just a little note to let you know that we think Stephanie is an amazing facilitator and when I watch her she seem like she is having the time of her life and that I think is not a trait that is not learned but something a rare few people are born with. The children love her!

I want to thank you so very much for the past 3 years of fabulous Music Together classes! We absolutely love the music program and we have adored our instructors (Geneva and Sue)! My children are constantly singing songs from Music Together and really look forward to attending the classes. I feel so lucky that my family has had the chance to be a part of the Music Together family and that music has been so foundational in my children’s development. Thank you for all you do and for your commitment to music education!

It is such an awesome experience to be amongst so many parents, babies, kids and extended family creating music together. As a relative newcomer to St. Albert I have to say that Music Together has provided my family with the community that we've been desperately missing. Jodi, you have a tremendous gift. Thank you for sharing it with us.

Thank you to Allison for being such a great teacher. She is always smiling and upbeat, and my boys and I love her classes

My Grankids both love Miss Sue and her classes. They are as eager to get there as much as I am every Friday. Thank You Miss Sue for making our day so special!

I am more and more happy every term with what has been my families experience with this musical journey we are on. I feel like it is an extension of our family, all of the families at MT, especially the ones that we have known for awhile. I am sure you know this already as well, but Geneva is an amazing teacher! She always is sure to include all of the kids and welcomes everyone and just makes it a very enjoyable experience for the child as well as the parents. Just wanted to pass along some good stuff for you and your MT family!

Colton has been making a circle motion with his arms since we left that class. I figured out that when he does that he wants to sing 'Roll Over.' This may not be a big deal to some but for me it is amazing because my non verbal almost 3 year old son is communicating with me.

My daughter, Maya, and I just attended our first music class today. Wow, wow wow! I am so impressed; the music is lovely, the movement is perfect, the laid back approach works so well for my daughter. We were already listening to the CD on our way home & I can't wait for next week. Well done.

I would just like to put in a good word about Sue. She is an amazing instructor and my children love her classes. I've been taking Music Together for almost every session for the last 4 years because the kids keep asking to take Sue's class.

I would just like to comment on my experience in this class. This will be our third time registering (all 3 times with Sue) and we absolutely LOVE Sue. She does an amazing job teaching the kids and we could not ask for a better experience. Thank you so much all that you do :)

Both Matthew and Arabella are ALWAYS singing and I believe it's a testament to The Music Together teaching. I am always telling other parents how wonderful it is.

Olivia gets so excited every time I tell her we are going to her music class, It is by far her favourite activity that I have her registered in, and she is learning so much from the class. Every time we are in the car she asks that I play her "special music" for her, and at home she is constantly requesting dance sessions from her dad and me whenever we play the CDs (we have two now - Triangle and Fiddle - and can't wait for more!). Thanks for bringing music into our lives!

I just have to pass on some positive feedback because Claudia is absolutely immersed in Music Together! She's singing the songs all the time and doing the movements she saw in class. She's always asking if we're going to 'class' and can't wait to get there. I feel like she's become this little musical being. I'm actually shocked at how much she's changed since the last semester. I think your program is invaluable to her and to me as an activity we can do together. In case I don't get a chance to tell you in class - Thank you, thank you, thank you for everything you do.

Jodi - you have been a HUGE influence on Rowan and all of us… our life as a family is certainly all the better for knowing you and Music Together. YOU have made him the ‘rockin dude that he is, I wish you could see all the big and little ways you have formed his love of music, it is endless.

Adam, Ken and I (and Ken's folks) love MT but it's more than that...you are not only an amazing musician, Jodi, but you are so masterful at creating a meaningful and engaging multi-age class. You make it look easy but very few people can do all that minute by minute juggling that you do every lesson. I am always in awe.

This was my first Music Together class, and, based on my friends' and colleagues' enthusiasm over MT, I had high expectations. Both of my boys picked up so much during the semester, I am absolutely amazed. I think this is the first program where we have attended every session. Thank you for bringing such a joyful program to our community!

My granddaughter and I were at Keri's class today and really enjoyed it. The harp is also quite fabulous - How often do kids get to see that? When Keri introduced herself to us she could see that Nora is a timid, shy girl. Because everything in the class was new and different Nora clung to me for the first while. Eventually she began to warm up and clap and smile,etc. On our way home in the car she said very quietly, from the backseat, "I really like Keri, the teacher". I agree.

Josh and I will be looking forward to a little time of our own and you guessed it, we want to spend it with you. I really believe in the program you offer and talk it up to everyone I know. We still listen to our other collections and anytime the Hello Song comes on all the kids start swaying and bouncing. I do see it transfer to other genre of music as well so once again thank you for the opportunity you give us to help develop this skill in our children.

I would like to thank you again for providing such a wonderful music program and one that Kelly and I enjoy very much. I seems that no matter what venue or teacher we have it has always been a very positive and enriching experience. We are looking forward to continued classes with Music Together.
