Hayley S, mom

Little Maestros has been a mainstay of our family's lives since our child was 6 months old and continues to be a favorite class now that he is a toddler. It's the #1 class I recommend to new parents and their families because it is the best. The music is infectiously positive, the staff is warm and caring, and you always come away from a class feeling so good. We are so lucky to have Little Maestros in our neighborhood!

Engaging. Stimulating. Educational. Fun. That's Little Maestros. With Broadway quality, professional performers, class is jam-packed live entertainment that is enjoyable for everyone—not only babies and kids... but adults too. We love Little Maestros and we keep coming back for more!

My kids are now 11 and 8, and at times I play the music for us all in the car to sing together. "One little two little three little maestros...."

Lyss Stern, CEO of DivaMoms

All three of my children ages 12, 8 and 2 have taken Little Maestros classes from the time they were 5 months - 3 years of age. There is NO Better interactive music program for the little ones than Little Maestros. My two old sons still sing the songs today! Every parent with a baby should 100% enroll their child in the best most FabULyss program.

Ronna Tugan Ostheimer, EdD, Director of Education, The Clark Art Institute

I had the absolute pleasure of accompanying my daughter and new grandbabies to three Little Maestros classes over the past two weeks. Not only was I overjoyed with the experience personally, but I was also delighted with the program as a professional in the field of education. Little Maestros gets it right in every way! Of course, the program is full of music, but it is also full of language experiences, gross motor activities, warm and friendly social interactions and skill-building, and all designed so children can participate at their own level and feel successful. The instructors are not only talented entertainers, but they are also personable and interact with each child using their name, and in a differentiated and developmentally appropriate manner. Each class follows a predictable routine, which is important for ealy childhood education, and each class is also unique with new and exciting and fun learning opportunities. As the director of education at a major art museum, it thrills me when I see a program that models the power of the arts to enhance individual and community wellbeing and happiness. Little Maestros hits it out of the park.

 

Beth P, mom

Little Maestros gives children and their parents the ability to learn through music. I didn't realize how my this experience would shape my children's lives. My sons (now 10 and 4) learned their letters, numbers, how to socialize and of course the power of music every week with the Band. My son's birthday was a LM party. From start to finish, Marni, Nick and her team are true professionals who understand how to play with kids without insulting adults.

 

Mindie L, mom

From the minute my daughter enters Little Maestros, she has a huge smile on her face and can't wait to get out of her stroller and dance around to the music. The performers are extremely talented and the music is enjoyable for adults too! Every class is unique and exciting but follows a predictable routine which is great for helping little ones learn. We love Little Maestros!

Joy Weingarten, Director, Forest Hills West School (an ADAPT school)

Little Maestros is a phenomenal program. They have been coming to our school now for 3 years. My staff and students are huge fans. Little Maestros have also been to the school for special engagements - holiday celebrations and graduation. Our parents enjoy spending time with their children during these times, and they rave about the group. What is most important though is their ability to work with all the developmental ages within our program.​

Best mommy and me class around! I will cherish all the memories we made at Little Maestros forever! By the way, he's 12 now!!

Little Maestros class is our highlight of every week!

 

Beverly G, grandma

As a grandma, I would bring my young grandchildren for an amazing experience of music, puppet shows, fun participation, and an all-around wonderful time at each session. They still remember Little Maestros with great fondness. So do I!

 

Lindsey P, mom

Literally one of my most favorite experiences as a mom has been at Little Maestros. I cannot say enough good things. I loved it so much I cried almost every class the first semester ! It has encouraged not only a love of music but a love of dance, a jump on language , and all aspects of learning. I wish there was a LM preschool. The passion everyone on the team exudes is unbelievable and it is the highlight of my week! Even as an adult without a child I loved hearing them play at events and now it is a dream come true to go with my daughter to class!

 

Mara Y, mom

My kids are 12 and 9 and it was by far the best class they ever took. I was sad when they aged out of the class. We even had Nick and the Little Maestros crew perform at my son's first birthday party. Memorable!! Every time I walk past the location, and see all the strollers, I just have to smile. Now I'm going to find that CD and play it again for old time's sake.

 

Bess S, mom

Best place for a music class for your little one! We started at 3 months and my daughter was engaged from the first moment the band starting playing! Can't recommend them enough!

 

Stephanie L, mom

My daughter's face lights up at the mention of Little Maestros! It's also my favorite class to attend with her. The staff is super professional, warm and talented. We feel like part of the Little Maestros family. We ♥ Little Maestros! 

 

Nick Levy, teacher

I've been a performer for Little Maestros since the first class in 2002, and here's the thing. It never gets old for me. The performers are so talented and truly love what they do! The band I play with at class every day are truly my best friends too! The music is catchy and fun and often times challenging to play. I feel like I want to bring my "A" game to every class to keep up with the other players in the many Little Maestros classes.  Performing is truly fun and meaningful! Every day I get to see kids rolling over or crawling or walking or talking for the first time! I have played at so many special Birthday Parties and I'm honored to have been invited to each one!  There is no better feeling for me than to see a child (or an adult!) feeling the groove of a song we're playing and dancing and enjoying themselves or following the instructions of one of our interactive original tunes!  When I hear that a child "pretends" to be in the Maestro Band at home I know we've made a difference and I truly believe (as I think all the Little Maestros teachers do) in the power of music as a force of good in the world!

 

Marjan K, mom

Every class has a special magic that lights up my twins faces. 3 years of life with this class has brought joy and fun and special love for music to my children. Little Maestros was one of the only classes that allowed me to bring my twins by myself and I am thankful for that. Because of this class, my children have learned their passion for music and their favorite instruments to want to play and have learned so many songs to sing. They talk about their birthday having Nick and Melanie performing 7 months later and asking me if they could have the same birthday again. Everyone working there is so kind and pleasant and understanding. Thank you for all that you have done for us and I cherish memories you have allowed me and my children to have together, especially your Valentine's Day party.

All 3 of my kids just adored little maestros spanning 6 years of attendance and 2 different states. My youngest loved it so much, she took her first steps during a performance.

 

Brittany M, mom

We have had such a great experience with Little Maestros. It is by far the most creative, fun and educational class we have taken! Our instructors are so talented and great with the babies. And they make it fun for the adults too! Sienna and her friends have an absolute blast every week!

 

Erin N, mom

Annabel loves going to Little Maestros! Every week there are new, fun instruments to play with. It is my favorite activity to do with her!

 

Adam H, dad

Little Maestros was a cornerstone in my kids lives for several years. The classes were great, the community was fantastic and the team was amazing. It was just great all around for everyone in our family.

 

Michel B, mom

My son has been going to Little Maestros since he was four months old. He absolutely loves it! His face lights up every time I mention the class or sing the theme song to him. I credit Little Maestros for his love of music! The staff is always so warm and friendly and we feel like a part of their family. Every child should experience the magical world of Little Maestros!

 

Niko H, mom

At Little maestros class my children reached many of their milestones. My son crawled for the first time trying to get to the mystery box. It was not only a fun and entertaining class for my kids but it was also where I met my best mommy friends and we and the kids are all still close to this day. My kids are 9 and 6.

 

Michael B, dad

Simply put, Little Maestros is the best children's music class in New York. My daughter and I have been coming to Little Maestros for the past year and love the experience week after week. With so many options, Little Maestros doesn't rest on its reputation. Every week is different, every performance filled with genuine love and enthusiasm. The classes are more than just music. Each class includes a story, a puppet show, time spent on sounding out letters and words and so much more. Little Maestros has always welcomed me and has always made me feel like part of the family. As a stay at home dad, it's not always easy to walk into a place where the majority of children are with their moms or nannies. At Little Maestros, I've never once felt out of place. My daughter Charlotte and I will always be thankful that we found Maestroville. It's truly the most special place.
