From Happy Music Together® Families

Don’t take our word for it—hear what other happy Music Together® families have to say about Music Together music classes with Briana!

          

"I first came across the music together program probably close to 20 years ago as a young nanny. I was so impressed with the theory behind it and the way the children were all so engaged in it that I made sure every family I worked with after that was introduced to the program as well and I truly believe it has helped all of the children I cared for develop a true appreciation for music from an early age. It’s definitely not your typical “wheels on the bus” kind of program which was very refreshing. I have taken children to classes in 3 different states and while the curriculum is the same, the classes are always varied due to the personality of person teaching the class and my favorite teacher by far is Ms. Briana in Washington Heights. Briana is amazingly patient with children of all ages and has a true gift for presenting music in a way that captivates her young audience. All the kids love her and look forward to going to music class every week. They love her enthusiasm, the songs and the opportunity to try out different instruments and make lots of noise! I can’t recommend this program (and Ms. Briana!) highly enough." -Elisabeth G. 

 

"When I was in third grade in Milan, Italy, the music teacher told me, before I went on the stage for our first performance: 'You are tone deaf. Just pretend you are singing, or you will ruin the performance.' From that day on I never sang, not even in my shower, not even when everybody else was intoning the national anthem. One of man’s best activity (humans started singing before they started talking) was denied to me. How lucky is my granddaughter to have Briana as a teacher! What a great introduction to the world of music she has. I try never to miss a class as a bystander, I wish I was 2 year old again." - Maria Laura C.

 

"Briana made a real effort to get to know all three of our kids who took class with her as individuals. She instilled in them a deep love of music and together we sing her songs and use the techniques she taught daily." - Heidi D. 

 

"I've been a nanny for 11 years, and have attended many music classes.  In July of 2021, I started working for an amazing family in WaHi that had signed up my litte E. in outdoor music classes.  That's the day I met Ms. Briana and the world's best music teacher!  From her wonderful singing voice to our mini sign language lessons each class, Little E.eventually turning into a pre-school E. and we continued to attend Music Together classes with Briana ea. week for years. E. still talks about Briana, and still sings all of her songs and uses the sign language she taught us all those years ago during our post-pandemic park classes. I cannot recommend a better teacher to teach your children all about music!"  - Melissa R

"Briana’s music classes added so much joy to our lives! They have brought countless smiles, laughs and memories that our whole family will always cherish! My toddler began taking her classes when she was just a few months old and enjoyed every minute of the classes: singing, clapping and dancing along with so much enthusiasm!
 
Briana has an infectious passion for music, education and music education! She is so knowledgeable about how children incorporate music into their daily lives and as such, the lessons she teaches are infused with wisdom. She is so much fun, has a great sense of humor and truly loves her students! If a baby is crawling all over her she will cuddle and sing to her; if a toddler is having a tantrum, she will incorporate those feelings into a song, dissipating any sadness or fear! She truly is a master of compassion and joy through music, song and movement. Dancing with Briana is a singular experience and is guaranteed to bring a huge smile to your face and your child’s face!
 
We are thrilled that our daughter started her life with the joy of music thanks to Briana! We would recommend her classes to anyone who is seeking to supplement their child’s day-to-day lives with her wonderful music!"  -Valentina S.
