Mister Q Live

We celebrated My son’s 2^nd birthday with help of a wonderfully talented Mr Q. If anyone is looking for a warm, talented and nice music entertainer we highly recommend Mr. Q. He even took the time to freshen up his Spanish so that he could play and sing my son’s favorite song, La Bamba. Booking and all communications was easy and smooth. Thank you Mr. Q!

I don’t know what else to say about Teacher Michael that hasn’t already been said in other reviews! Teacher Michael came to my daughter’s 1^st birthday party and engaged all the kids the entire time (there were about 16 kids ranging from age 1 all the way to age 6). The kids barely made a circle because they were so intrigued by him and wanted to get closer. Teacher Michael played a mix of Music Together songs as well as a few current hits on the radio (which the older toddlers loved). He brought his guitar, speakers, iPod, and various instruments for the kids such as rhythm sticks, shakers, drums, bells, etc.
My one year old is usually pretty apprehensive with anyone other than immediate family but she was sitting right next to Teacher Michael the entire time with no problem whatsoever. She wasn’t even afraid when he got closer to her to show her how to hit the drums with the sticks in her hands. The kids had so much fun and I received so many compliments from the parents afterwards. My one year old finally has a consistent nap schedule down and we will be starting Music Together classes soon. The only bummer is that we aren’t able to go to Teacher Michael’s class due to scheduling conflicts since he’s now in Burlingame and Millbrae only (so if you’re able to sign up for his class, don’t procrastinate because his classes always fill up fast!).
A few other things: Teacher Michael is very professional. He replies to emails promptly, confirms a few days before the event, and comes early to set up. He even gave me his own CD’s (volumes 1 & 2), which my kids love. We’ve been listening to the CD’s in the car everyday (the CD’s even trump the Disney CD’s so that proves how awesome they are!). There’s a reason why Mister Q was voted the top Bay Area kids entertainer for the past few years!
If you’re able to attend an event where Mister Q is playing (he plays all over the Bay Area at parks, schools, libraries, etc.), go check it out with your child (ren)! You won’t regret it and want to book Teacher Michael for your child’s next birthday party. Here’s his website:

We had Mister Q come to our 2 year old’s birthday party at our home. We already knew him from Music Together and Peekadoodle. He’s great with kids, tries to get everyone engaged, and is creative. He brings his own instruments for kids to play with and toys, parachute. Our friends liked him so much they hired him for their own kid’s birthday!

Mister Q comes to my son’s daycare every week for music. My son (3 yo) loves him and talks about him all of the time. We recently booked him for my son’s 3^rd birthday party. He was so professional — confirming beforehand, showing up early (despite horrible SF parking), etc. He remembered all of my son’s favorite songs and made sure to play them all. But what was most impressive was how well he interacted with all of the kids. From the littlest baby to the oldest kid, all of them were engaged by Michael’s performance. He brought tons of props/​instruments for the kids to interact with. The kids had such a blast and all of the parents were blown away. A true talent and such a nice guy.

Mister Q has entertained at my daughter’s bdays 2 years in a row (for her 1^st & 2^nd bdays). Each time he captivated the attention of 20+ kids (ranging from the ages of 1 – 10 years) and adults. He has a true gift. His sets are variable with interactive and exciting music and instruments. He’s extremely friendly, personable & professional. Kids flock to him and parents are so comfortable with him. He will always be my go-​to music guy (for kids). We alwats get more than what we pay! Thank you Mister Q for being as awesome as you are!!!

We are enrolled in Michael’s music together class and we could not be happier. My daughter who has a spunky personality loves his class. (We’ve tried other teachers but Michael blows the other teachers away!!) Also I hate to say this but Michael’s vocals and music sound better than the CD we get from class. I think the producers of the CD should sit in Michael’s class.
We hired Michael to play at my baby shower and Michael was so accommodating as he was already booked on that day, but was able to squeeze us in (he had to skip lunch and drive up and down the peninsula) The kids loved him and we got so many compliments about him. In the beginning of the baby shower he was singing a black eyed peas song, but he makes it his own and it’s amazing how talented he is. He incorporates his own style to the music and it’s awesome. He also has a way of making everyone feel involved and pays attention to all the kids. He’s very patient and really good with kids as my daughter tends to jump up and down and run around. We’re so happy to see him each week and we can’t wait to book Mister Q again!

Mr. Q came to my neighbors daughters first birthday party… and he rocked out with the kids… from babies to kiddos to adults. He had everyone singing and dancing for the time he was there. Super friendly, unique and educational — everyone loved Mr. Q — definitely highly recommended for parties!

We recently had Mr. Q come to our house for my son’s 3^rd birthday party. He was easy to contact and communicate with by email. He even asked for some of my son’s favorite songs so that he could try to include those in his performance.
On the day of the party, he arrived on time, if not early. He set up quickly and immediately had the kids around the gathering drum while they waited.
We had about 20 kids, ranging in age from 1 to 12 years old. Most of the kids were engaged the entire 45 minutes. A couple of kids wandered off (to play in the other room) but would return when they heard something they wanted to participate in. The 2 – 3 year olds were very cute in how they were singing along and doing the movement and dancing.
If you are familiar with Music Together classes, he incorporates some elements from there. He brought drums, egg shakers, scarves, and a parachute. With the parachute, the kids were «popping» balls in the air and with so many active boys in our party, those balls were flying all over the place! Didn’t faze him at all! I think Michael (Mr. Q) is probably able to quickly assess groups to know what kinds of activities will get everyone highly engaged.
Most of all though, I think he is a talented guitarist, singer, and overall musician. I highly recommend him.
