WHAT PARENTS ARE SAYING….

My daughter and I look forward to Music class each Saturday Morning. She loves playing instruments and dancing along to the music, and I love that I get to watch her having so much fun. It is a great way to spend some quality time together. Ms. Andrea is very creative with her activities each week. No two classes are the same. – Jessica Wright, Warwick

Dear Miss Andrea: I cannot begin to tell you the joy you brought Frankie this past year at Musical Munchkins. He loved the experience with all of the instruments (wind, wood and of course your guitar), the fun running and jumping around to music, the silly lyrics you’d sing (Zolie) and who could forget the microphone! We listen to the CD often and sing along – it is great memories that were created with you. You made him feel very special each week and definitely left an impression in his heart. Thank you for your caring ways and professionalism in what you do. - Trish (Frankie’s Mom) Monroe

Our Musical Munchkins class has become a highlight of my daughter’s week. Even at home, I see the impact the classes have had on her; she loves imitating Miss Andrea with her own guitar, singing the Musical Munchkins songs. – Jessica Ladlee, Newburgh

Musical Munchkins is a wonderful educational program that every parent of a newborn to a preschooler will want to put their children in. My son Samuel, is also now attending. I have seen his progress from a very shy toddler to a more confident and outgoing individual. Miss Andrea is talented and has a wonderful way with children. I can’t say enough good things about Musical Munchkins. – Mimica Hyman, Samuel and Sabrina’s Mom, Newburgh.

I started my daughter Penelope at 9 months old, and I was amazed that even so young my daughter would move to the music and laugh and smile. Now she is two and loves to sing and dance. She knows the songs, loves the instruments, and is always happy on musical munchkin day. – Carolyn Pallister, New Windsor

I’ve seen my son come more and more out of his shell. He’s also a music fiend now. The radio must be playing in the house or the car at all times, or he yells “More!” at me. He’s also teaching himself some harmonica and ukulele, and dances up a storm to his nonna’s Italian records. Thanks for piquing my son’s musical interest – Heather Connors La Bruna, Goshen

As a Mom, I am so thankful for Musical Munchkins. My daughter and I look forward to it every week! Ms. Andrea is a great teacher who is always energetic and lots of fun! – Christina & Ava Distefano, Harriman

The joy and energy that our four year old emanates after her Musical Munchkins class with Ms. Andrea is wonderful! I’m thrilled that my daughter experiences a beautiful “live” voice and music in an age where everything is automated and digitized. The warmth, care and inspiration Ms. Andrea gives to each of the children is an invaluable introduction into music, song, dance, storytelling and language. – Ellen Buljeta, Newburgh

Miss Andrea, I had to write to THANK YOU for all your great work. When Kristen began at 6 months old she was extremely shy and cautious around people and other children. She is a very sensitive little girl and would cry if another child even touched her. She is now 2 1/2 years old and she LOVES going to music class and seeing all her friends. My husband and I cannot believe how she has “come out of her shell”. Even the other Moms in the group are all amazed at how she participates now. I fully believe signing her up for “music class” has been the best thing we could have done for her and will continue to do so. So again THANK YOU. – Nancy S, Kristen’s Mom, Goshen, NY

My older daughter went to the 2s and 3s and the 3s and 4s classes and I saw such a growth in her musically as well as socially. It helped her gain the skills that helped her make a smooth transition to Pre-K. In Musical Munchkins she learned listening skills, became more independent and gained such a love of music and dance. She now is in her first year of ballet and is loving it. My younger daughter attends the 2s and 3s class and looks forward to it every week. She had always been very clingy to me and quite shy and after only a few months of classes she is listening to Ms. Andrea and participating in all the activities in class. I would tell anyone with young kids to come and try out Musical Munchkins…. I would challenge you to find a better, more fun program in the area for the price! : ) – Allyssa Allesandro, Newburgh

Musical Munchkins has deepened Nyla’s love of music. She really loves attending the class every Saturday and looks forward to it during the week. She recognizes songs and names different instruments right away. Miss Andrea is really great with all of the kids and keeps them focused while entertaining them. Tessie Blakes, Middletown
