See What Our Families Say

“We’ve done several music classes in San Diego and I really appreciate the ChIMES curriculum. It feels rare to have a class that incorporates different cultures, languages and music theory at such a young age. We love the playlists and are so grateful we’ve had such amazing teachers. Thank you!”

ChIMES
Parent

“We smile, laugh and play every minute of class – what more could you ask for?”

ChIMES
Parent

“We loved the staff’s warm welcome to every class and the sense of community they provided. So often with classes like this facilitators don’t treat it as a community. They both made it easier to make connections with others in our session. The music and movement activities were top notch and very appropriate for the group. The teacher adapted easily for the varying needs and attitudes of each class session.”

ChIMES
Parent

“We loved this series! We’ve taken other music classes and this one is by far the best. Our daughter was born loving music and she really thrived in this class. She especially enjoyed when the instructor played ukulele throughout.”

ChIMES
Parent

“Recently, our daughter has been doing the “Do Re Mi” scale before going to bed. She just all of a sudden started doing it (and correctly, too). It really amazes me how much she absorbs even when you don’t think she is paying attention!”

ChIMES
Parent

“Mr. Thiago’s joyful spirit and his dedication to getting to know each kid made this class an awesome experience. We especially enjoyed his guitar playing when we were singing songs!”

ChIMES
Parent

“We LOVE Mr. Charlie!! He is an amazing instructor for this age group. What makes him such a great instructor is his energy – he is very good about reading the younger class – what they need less of or more of on each day of class.”

ChIMES
Parent

“Miss Kat adapted well to the energy level of the kids. Preschool curriculum was spot on, loved the booklet to practice with at home. Special touches like penny whistle, made this class stand out. Overall the best music class in San Diego we have tried.”

ChIMES
Parent

“The variety of songs and music is wonderful and it’s a special time each week for our family to connect with each other and the other class participants. It’s honestly the most laughter and joy-filled time of our week and we look forward to it so much!”
