“As a Speech-Language Pathologist, I’m always looking for programs that support children’s development through play and meaningful interaction — and Music with Shannalee absolutely delivers! Her classes are engaging, developmentally appropriate, and full of joy. Shannalee connects beautifully with each child and family, using songs, movement, and instruments to build skills families can carry over at home - and encouraging them to do so! She’s also a delight to collaborate with — flexible, creative, and genuinely passionate about sharing the joy of music with her community. I can’t recommend her classes highly enough!”

“Shannalee, has a wonderful connection with teaching children music!! Her songs are engaging and her presentation and voice capture children’s attention and excitement to learn!!”

“Shannalee has such a passion for both music and children, and it really shows in her lessons! She’s so engaging with the kids and makes each class so special. I know how important music is for babies and toddlers and their growing brains. I can’t recommend Music with Shannalee enough!”

“Shannalee is a wonderful person to collaborate and communicate with. We partnered for a mom’s group and everyone LOVED the class. Highly recommend!”

“Music with Shannalee performed at Child Start, Inc. for their 50th birthday celebration, where the 60th anniversary of Head Start was held simultaneously. She engaged with families in a 30 minute singalong session and was apt to work with the ebb and flow of the crowd. Her crowd work was amazing. After her performance, she worked an event table, providing hands on musical experiences for the children and families who attended the celebrations. We appreciate Shannalee for the wonderful work she did to help build bright futures together!”

“Music with Shannalee is a beautiful experience for all ! It's not often a teacher has the age-appropriate pedagogy skills, expertise & talent in their field of study (music in this case), and organizational abilities. Shannalee creates an environment that is welcoming and inspiring. It's fun to learn through music, movement and community when attending her classes or workshops. MORE CLASSES PLEASE!”

“Shannalee is a wonderful and welcoming musician! She engages children with her lovely voice and fun, energetic teachings. She knows what kids (and adults) will respond to. As a collaborator, I appreciated her organization of class and her professionalism.”

“Shannalee's class was so much fun! It was the highlight of our weeks, and my kids loved it so much. It's great to meet other moms and have a place for the kids to explore musical instruments and some dance/movement.”

“After attending a free music class, we signed up for Shannalee's 6 week class. My 2.5 year old absolutely loves it! Even though during class he quietly sits in my lap and observes, at home he wants to [sing] the songs over and over. He can't wait to go back every week. Shannalee has such a bright and cheery energy so the kiddos are enthralled and she makes even those of us who aren't "singers" feel like we can easily incorporate song into our lives. We play with scarves and egg shakers and we both leave happier than when we came. Highly, highly recommend!”
