"Our family has been going to UpBeat for 8 years. We started group classes when our oldest kiddo was only 8 months! The baby, toddler and preschool classes are phenomenal for large and small motor skills, listening, coordination, rhythm, singing and getting out the wiggles! Before taking private piano lessons, our oldest went through the Young Musician program. As it is a parent participation class, my husband actually learned quite a bit of theory and how to read piano music - added bonus!  All of the teachers and staff we've encountered are warm, friendly, and knowledgeable. The waiting room is family friendly and welcoming, offering plenty of seating and small toys to entertain toddlers and small children. I recommend UpBeat to all of my friends with toddlers and even to strangers on socials asking for a reputable place to take music classes. Midland is lucky to have such a nice music school and we are grateful to be part of the Upbeat family!"
