A Magical Musical Journey for Young Families

At Rock-a-Baby, we offer interactive baby and toddler music classes designed to support early childhood development through the power of music. Our fun and engaging sessions encourage participation from both children and caregivers, creating a nurturing environment for learning and connection. Each class uses rhythmic repetition and movement, hands-on instrument play, and musical storytelling to develop fine motor skills, coordination, and self-expression. With carefully crafted songs and real instruments sized for little hands, we help children build melodic recognition, spark imagination, and foster a love of music. By introducing familiar routines and structured musical play, our program promotes cognitive growth, emotional security, and joyful discovery.

We understand the importance of appropriate volume levels for infants and toddlers, ensuring a sensory-friendly environment for all and a comfortable place for a child to connect with their grownup. Our programs take place in a clean and safe setting, providing peace of mind for parents. Join us for classes, concerts or birthday parties and embark on a musical journey that will inspire, delight, and lay the foundation for a lifelong love of music in your little ones.

My grandaughter and I enjoy our Thursday morning class. It is such fun to enjoy the music and playful activities...

We have been going to see Rock-A-Baby for over a year now. My daughter has absolutely fallen in love with the music (she asks for it every morning on Apple Music) and absolutely loves the characters as well as Marc, Katie and Ben. These classes have taught her how to dance and clap to the beat of the music. She takes what she learns from her classes and brings it home. We love you all!

My daughter has grown up with Rock-a-Baby. When she was an infant, she bounced along to all the songs and watched enchanted when it was time for bubbles. Now that she's a toddler, even though she's speech delayed, she still knows the lyrics to several of their songs and sings them at home all the time. You can't tap your legs without her breaking into the opening song. She loves the music, she loves the puppets (and Melody, Rhythm, and Harmony are so patient and friendly when she wants to hug them for minutes at a time while they're trying to perform), she loves playing new instruments, she loves dancing, she loves chasing balls around the room, and she (still) loves the bubbles. Marc, Benny, and Rachel are amazing at what they do and we're so lucky Poppy's gotten a chance to be a part of it. 10/10, can't recommend enough.

Of all the classes that our son attends, Rock a Baby is by far his favorite and my wife and I certainly agree! Each class is very well thought out, educational, and interactive. There is a perfect balance of kids songs to tie into the weekly theme, as well as favorites for the adults. I never thought when signing up for a music class we would get to hear songs from Prince, The Beatles, John Fogerty, etc. but that certainly has been a pleasant surprise! I greatly appreciate how kind all of the instructors are to our son and fellow classmates and it’s been a pleasure watching him grow up in class. Thank you!!

We have been attending Rock-a-Baby music classes for a year now. Marc and his team (of humans and puppets) are professional, inclusive, and fun! We love how interactive the classes are - live music, puppets, instruments to play, dancing, stories, and more! Every class is well thought out and brings something new. We started when my daughter was 7 months old, and I have watched her grow and reach milestones in this class. (Her third word was bubble, and we still credit Rock-a-Baby) It’s always been a highlight of our week!

My family & I are so grateful for Rock-a-Baby! The classes are thoughtfully structured, and the music—played live with real instruments by incredibly talented and engaging instructors—is fantastic. The musicians bring so much fun, humor, and joy to each session, making it an enriching experience for both kids and adults. If you’re looking for a high-quality music class, we highly recommend Rock-a-Baby!
