Little Movers And Shakers

Little Movers & Shakers has been amazing. They are super organized, the room is very clean, and the teachers are incredible. For two sessions now our son has been taking the Saturday class with Savanna, and she is so wonderful with the kids. She is super energetic and patient, and always makes our son smile. (We’ve also had a class each with Cathy & Erin and they were both great as well). The classes have a big range of instruments that the kids get to experience, and the music each session is lots of fun to listen to (for adults too) and I really like the diversity and seasonality they include. The activities they do with the music have helped me come up with ways to do the same thing at home and some of the songs have become household favorites. All of the parents we’ve met have also been lovely and so kind. If you’re having any doubts, try the demo, and I bet you’ll be sold like we were :) Highly, highly recommend.

Not for us. The teacher was abrasive and rude. My husband accidentally took a CD and the teacher harassed us to mail it back (which we did).

Best children’s music class ever! My two year old son and I have been taking Cathy’s class for over a year now, and we love it! It’s designed in a very unique way, that’s a lot of fun for parents and children! I can’t say enough good things about this class!

Little Movers & Shakers is amazing! The teachers are ALL full of energy and have such positive vibes. The staff is friendly & accommodating. They are accepting of all children, & This class has been essential in helping one of my children socialize and learn to grow, while having fun at the same time. Both my kids love it.

If you’re looking for a music class for your little one, look no further! Little Movers and Shakers is the BEST. Both of my kids have gone here and love it. We’ve taken other music classes in the area and this one truly stands out. Cathy is so great with kids and really understands them. You can tell she has a passion for music and teaching. Her song selection is creative and she incorporates it all: musical instruments, puppet shows, stuffed animals, dance time, imaginary play, etc. She ends the class with a nice closing song to calm the kids down. I started here as a new mom without many mommy friends and was very particular about what activities to involve my baby in (you know, typical new mom stuff!). I’m so glad I was introduced to Little Movers early on. I met new friends and my baby was happy and grew musically. 5+ stars!

I took a class with Sara and it was so much fun. My son was about 6 months when I went and I am so glad I did it. Sara was very patient and extremely friendly. I highly recommend taking her class.

I enrolled my son Angelo in this class around the age of about 4 ½ months. When I started him here, he was just learning to sit up on his own. Now he’s in his third «semester» and finally «catching up» to other kids in age. He LOVES Cathy and her fun classes. I enjoy bringing him here so much. I found Little Movers and Shakers from the Unilocal reviews, and so thankful that I did. I look forward to taking Angelo each week. I play the cds she has given us when my nieces are with us in the car, and we enjoy singing along to the songs. Finding gems like this is why I love Unilocal.Thank you Cathy for being awesome and creating this wonderful class!

I’ve sat through my share of music classes in LA — Toddle Tunes, LadyBug, Valley Cat, Music Together. There’s always something fundamentally wrong with the class, as though the creators had no experience with children: long lectures on technical points of music; inappropriately short activities and fast transitions; creepy teachers who have no palpable interest in children. But Cathy’s class is awesome. I honestly look forward to going each week — and if you think I’m enthusiastic, you should see my toddler!
Cathy is smart, fun, and completely at home with little ones. She is a natural teacher, weaving in lessons about music while keeping kids of many ages engaged (my 1.5-year-old and my 4-​year-​old love the class equally). The class is comprised of enough variety of activities to keep everyone interested, but the pace is slow enough for little kids to engage and digest. Her music is worldly and kid-​oriented, and my kids cannot get enough of the cds that accompany each session.
Last week at the end of class, the kids nearly knocked each other down to give Cathy hugs. I think that says it all. They love her, and they should. Take this class!

My 2 year old daughter loved this class! Cathy is fun and vibrant and puts a lot of thought into the material she introduces — music, rhythm, movement and play. And the CD of music that accompanies the class is a permanent fixture in our car and has helped my daughter learn to make new sounds!

Okay, my little guy and I have only been going here a few weeks, but already he is dancing, beating the couch like a drum, and humming to music in the car and at home. I don’t know if it is the class but when we are in the class, we are so engaged and it is so much fun. Cathy is great, knows how long to get there attention and how to make each song special and exciting. It was the best thing I have done with my wee one so far.

Cathy’s knowledge of music and sounds makes this class that much more fun and entertaining for the kids as well as the parents. Ive been taking my one year old son for a few months now and have even brought along my 2.5 year old girl and both they and I thoroughly enjoy every moment spent in the class! Learning beats, sounds, rhythms and just being exposed to different types of music is extremely important to Cathy and she expresses that through her class all the while making it super fun and entertaining!!! I would highly recommend this class to any of my family or friends… The plus side is that it’s in a great location with tons of parking and the hours are very accommodating as well! Cathy is truly something special!

I remember trying out so many different music classes as well as various mommy and me classes, and just thinking that I would never find something that would fit… then I came across Cathy’s Movers and Shakers class, not only was it safe, fun, and interesting in EVERY class, but it taught my daughter to love and also appreciate music. We listen to her take home CD’s in the car and it’s the only thing that soothes my daughter. She teaches repetition and all the great rhythmic rhymes from all over the world. She is just a blast and a wonderful friendly person who deeply cares for our children. I highly recommend her. Not only that she is completely INEXPENSIVE. Great package all together!

My son absolutely loves this music class! Cathy is absolutely fantastic. She is so creative with her songs and music lessons, and she has such a huge collection of instruments and props. My son especially loves all of the cool drums she has. I love her music selection because it is «easy to listen to» for the parents as well. She incorporates songs from various cultures, and I love that he is getting exposed to this. This class is absolutely AWESOME and I HIGHLY recommend it!

I’ve tried a lot of music classes with both my kids, 4 and 2 years old, and this is my favorite! This class is not only great fun for all ages, I really feel my little one is learning something about music and rhythm that will benefit him for a long time. Cathy is passionate about sharing her love of music with kids and they can feel it. One thing I love is the wide selection of different music, from jazz to waltz to world music, she finds a way to make all different genres connect with the kids.

My daughter has been taking music classes from Cathy at Little Movers and Shakers for over a year and LOVES it. She gets so much out of the class. She can follow complicated rhythms, loves to sing and make music and just has a blast. Cathy’s selections of songs never leave our CD player. And as a parent, I really appreciate Cathy’s attention to how music and music classes benefit kids’ learning and development. THIS is the music class you should take in the Valley.
