Family music classes are classes babies and preschool age kids take with their parents. These fun programs have been scientifically proven to improve your child’s development. In the Twin Cities, we are blessed to have so many different options of music classes. Even the music teachers who teach these classes love to attend them!

  1. You have “Songs with Sarah is an audition based music school” when it should be “audiation” (meaning…thinking music). Just wanted to put that out there as to not confuse it the two.

  2. Hello I’m looking for classes for my twelve year old grandson. He deals with ADHD and I feel it will help him focus and relax. If you could give me any direction it would be great.
