🤔 Wondering if your child is ready for music class? 🤔
Whether your child is shy, active, or somewhere in between, everyone is welcome! Our classes are joyful, nurturing, and designed to support early development.
Through music, movement, and instrument play, children naturally absorb two languages during the years their brains are most open to learning, boosting cognitive growth, memory, and confidence. 🧠
Sing, dance, and grow bilingually with us! 🥁
🎶 Class songs are based on our original Healthy Me and Saludable Soy albums! Click the link to listen.
What’s the difference between Spanish and Bilingual classes?
Spanish classes are full immersion. Songs and instructions are entirely in Spanish. Bilingual classes feature songs in Spanish, with instructions offered in both Spanish and English. Both formats are designed to be easy to follow, no matter your language level.

testimonials
“Isabel [age 1] adores music class, and is so excited whenever we put the album on at home or in the car. The second "Manos al sol" comes on, her little hands shoot up, even in her carseat.”
-Isabel's mom
“Sofia is almost 3 and she LOVES Aguacate music classes, she sings and dances and interacts with the instruments. It is beautiful to see her feeling comfortable with the rhythm and jumping around to the beat. We speak Spanish at home so we are always looking for other spaces where she can interact and listen in Spanish."
-Sofia's mom
