A Music Minis Summer · Ages 0–4
Saturday mornings, finally figured out.
A weekly class where you and your little one actually do something together — not next to each other, not parallel-play, not you on your phone while they tumble around a gym.
Music Minis is 45 minutes of singing, moving, exploring, and connecting. With them. As a participant, not a spectator.
8 weeks · Saturdays 10–10:45am · Capped at 8 families · Fort Worth Near Southside
Does any of this sound familiar?
I keep signing us up for things and then standing in the corner on my phone.
I want something we can do together — not another activity where I sit in the waiting room.
Storytime is fine but he’s done in eight minutes and we’re back in the car.
I love the idea of music class but everything I find is either chaotic or kind of culty.
I want to be PRESENT with her on the weekends. I’m not. I’m tired.
My kid is bouncing off the walls and I’m scrolling through Eventbrite at 9pm trying to find something that isn’t $40 for thirty minutes of nothing.
I don’t need her to be a musician. I just want us to do something that feels like it matters.
I want to be the kind of parent who’s IN it. I keep meaning to be.
Which of these have you already tried?
- The free library music hour where 40 kids cram into a room and your kid melts down before the second song
- The drop-off class that’s “for both of you” but actually means you sit on a bench and watch through glass
- The expensive franchise music class where everyone wears matching shirts and the songs sound like a dentist’s office on hold
- The mommy-and-me yoga class that’s really just yoga with toddlers crawling on you
- Putting on Ms. Rachel and calling it bonding
- The playgroup where you mostly just talk to other adults while the kids destroy the same three toys
You weren’t doing it wrong. You just couldn’t find what you were actually looking for.
Most “parent and child” classes aren’t built around the parent being in the class. They’re built around the kid being entertained while you stand nearby holding a coffee.
That’s fine. It’s just not what you wanted.
What you wanted was a window of time — small, weekly, low-pressure — where the experience is for both of you. Where you’re singing too. Where you’re the one holding the scarf, not just watching her wave it. Where the goal is connection, not curriculum.
That class exists. We made it.
Why most music classes don’t actually work for what you want:
- The grownup is a spectator. When your child sees you participating — actually singing, actually dancing — they engage at a completely different level. Most classes don’t ask anything of the adult.
- The structure is too loose. “Free play with instruments” sounds nice. In practice it’s chaos and your kid leaves overstimulated.
- The structure is too tight. Sitting in a circle clapping on cue isn’t connection. It’s compliance.
- There’s no calm moment. Forty-five minutes of high energy with no reset is exhausting for everyone. Kids included.
- It’s not built for the actual range of ages 0–4. A six-month-old and a three-year-old need different things. A good class holds space for both.
- It’s a class instead of a ritual. One-off drop-ins don’t build anything. A weekly Saturday rhythm does.
What families are saying:
“
This class is everything I didn’t know I needed with my toddler. It’s fun, intentional, and such a sweet way to start the weekend together.
“
We’ve tried other classes, but this one felt like it was made just for us. My daughter sings the songs all week long.
Here’s what eight Saturday mornings looks like.
Week 1: You’re a little self-conscious singing in front of strangers. Your kid is glued to your leg. That’s okay. Nobody’s watching you. They’re singing too.
Week 3: You know the goodbye song. Your kid hums it on the drive home. You catch yourself humming it Tuesday afternoon at the grocery store.
Week 5: Your kid runs in. They know where the maracas live. They have a favorite scarf color.
Week 8: It’s the last class of the session and you’re already asking when the next one starts. Saturday at 10am has become the thing you don’t move for anything.
That’s the whole pitch. A weekly hour where you both look forward to showing up. Where you leave feeling like that was good — for them, for you, for the relationship between you.
The music is the vehicle. The connection is the point.
Music Minis Summer Session
Eight Saturdays. You and your little one. 10–10:45am.
A weekly 45-minute class for kids 0–4 and their grownups. Singing, movement, instruments, a story, a calm moment, a goodbye song. Held inside our cozy studio space when it’s hot or rainy, outside in the side yard when the weather’s good.
Built for the parent who wants to be in the experience, not next to it.
Here’s how each 45 minutes flows:
- Welcome Song & Warm-Up
- Mindfulness Moment
- Singing & Interactive Songs
- Dance & Movement
- Storytime
- Instrument Exploration
- Goodbye Song Ritual
Same shape every week. Different songs, different stories, different instruments. The structure is what makes the freedom inside it work.
What’s included
- 8 weekly classes (June 6 – August 1, no class July 18)
- 45 minutes each Saturday, 10:00–10:45am
- Live music led by Kristi, MJS founder and mom of three
- Age-appropriate instruments for hands-on exploration — shakers, drums, bells, scarves
- Weekly themes with a connected storybook and movement activity
- A built-in mindfulness moment every class — for kids, but honestly mostly for you
- A small group: capped at 8 families per session, on purpose
- Indoor or outdoor space depending on the weather, both intentional
- Sibling discount: 10% off each additional child
Total: $235 for the full 8 weeks. That’s about $29 per class, including materials.
Why I built this class.
When I had my first baby, I went looking for the kind of class I wanted us to be in.
I wanted something calm. Joyful. Intentional. I wanted structure but not stiffness. I wanted to be a participant — not a parent in the corner watching her child do an activity. I wanted to sing too.
I didn’t find it.
What I found was either chaotic free-for-alls at the library, or franchise classes that felt like I’d walked into a marketing funnel, or drop-offs that defeated the whole point. Nothing felt like us.
So I built it.
Music Minis is the class I wished existed when my first baby was small. And now, with my third — Sunny — at home, I’m in the class alongside you. I’m not just leading it. I’m a parent in it.
That matters, I think. Because this isn’t a curriculum I designed from a distance. It’s a Saturday morning I want to spend with my own kid. The fact that you’re spending it with yours, in the same room, is the whole reason it works.

FAQ
Is this really for ALL ages 0–4? My kid’s 6 months. Will she even get anything out of it?
Yes. Honestly, the youngest babies often get the most out of it because the music is doing real developmental work — they’re absorbing rhythm, melody, and language patterns from the inside of your arms. You don’t have to do anything special. Just bring her.
If that sounds like the right fit — save your spot.
What if my kid doesn’t sit still?
Most of them don’t. The class is designed for kids who bounce, crawl, sing, spin, climb, and shake a maraca like their life depends on it. Movement is part of the structure, not a distraction from it.
Sounds like your kid? Come.
What if I’m not musical? I can’t sing.
Doesn’t matter. At all. Your kid doesn’t care if you’re on key — they care that you’re doing it. And the class isn’t a performance. Nobody’s listening to you. They’re listening to themselves.
If you’ve been hesitating because of this, please don’t. Save your spot.
Can I bring a younger sibling?
Yes. Babies who can be worn or held during class are welcome at no extra cost. If both kids are mobile and need to participate, the class fee is per child — with a 10% sibling discount.
Email us at musicjunkiestudios@gmail.com to enroll a sibling.
What if we miss a class?
Because it’s a session-based class with a small cap, we don’t offer makeups for missed weeks. If you know in advance you’ll miss multiple classes, reach out before enrolling and we’ll talk through whether the timing works.
Otherwise — save your spot below.
Indoor or outdoor?
Depends on the day. We meet outside in the side yard when the weather’s good. When it’s hot, raining, or just safer indoors, we move inside to our group space. Both are intentional. Both feel like us.
Is this a drop-off class?
No. The grownup is in the class. That’s the whole point. If you need a drop-off option, this isn’t the right fit — but Music for Littles or our individual lessons might be.
Can I sign up partway through?
We open enrollment until the cap fills or until the second class of the session, whichever comes first. After that, we close it so the group can settle into a rhythm.
If you’re on the fence — sign up now and save your spot.
Saturday at 10am.
That’s it. That’s the offer.
Eight Saturdays where you and your little one show up, sing together, move together, and leave feeling like that was good.
