“The teachers make every class feel fun and welcoming— my kids look forward to it all week!” .
A music class that feels like coming home.
Are you looking for something more than just another toddler activity?
Family Jam is Sound Play’s signature mixed-age class for babies, toddlers, preschoolers—and the grown-ups who love them. Designed for families with children ages 0–6, this joyful weekly class blends music, movement, connection, and laughter in a way that feels both magical and grounding.
This is where your child learns to clap to the beat, where your baby finds their voice through melody, and where you—yes, you—discover just how musical you truly are.
Families with young children (ages 0–6) who want more than just a weekly activity—they want a shared experience. It’s designed for parents, siblings, and even grandparents who long to slow down, connect through music, and create joyful memories together—no musical background needed.
The classes are so welcoming and fun!
My kids can participate in their own ways, the music keeps them engaged, and they always look forward to it each week.
My daughter, Ayla, absolutely loves the class and is already showing a real passion for music!

"Sound Play is worth every penny — the unique songs, instruments, and interactive classes keep our kids excited and engaged all week long. We love that music has become a part of our daily lives."
Each Family Jam class is 45 minutes long—just enough time to spark joy, build confidence, and create meaningful musical moments without overwhelming young children. It’s short enough to fit into your week easily, but long enough to make a lasting impact.
They’re not expected to! Our classes are designed for wiggles, big feelings, and curious bodies. Movement is part of the learning process. When children are free to explore, they engage more deeply and grow more confident. We follow their lead—and celebrate it.
That’s totally normal. Some children jump right in; others hang back and take it all in. There’s no pressure to perform. Over time, you’ll see your child begin to participate in ways that feel natural and joyful for them.
Nope! Babies are welcome from birth. Early exposure to music supports brain development, bonding, and emotional growth. Whether your child is bouncing, clapping, crawling, or cuddling, they’re participating just by being there.
Yes! Older siblings are welcome to tag along on holidays, snow days, or during school breaks. We love having extra helping hands—and your younger child will love sharing the experience with their big sibling.
Yes! Family Jam is truly for your whole family. Grandparents, aunts, uncles, and other special people are welcome to join anytime—whether they’re bringing your child or just visiting for fun. No need to check in or ask first. Just come. The more, the merrier!
Absolutely. While most families sit on the floor to move and play together, we understand that’s not comfortable for everyone. Chairs are always available for anyone who needs one—just grab a seat and join the fun however you can.
Yes! We offer trial classes if you’d like to test the waters first. And if you enroll and later find it’s not the right fit, you’re covered by our Happiness Guarantee—we’ll refund the unused portion of your tuition. Easy, no stress.
We offer unlimited makeups that you can use at any time, in any location—even in future semesters. Our online makeup scheduler makes it super easy to find a time that works for your family. No pressure, no lost value.
You can! Drop-ins are $30 and available whenever there’s space in a class. It’s a simple way to try things out or join when your schedule allows. Just book your spot online in advance.
Just once per semester—no monthly billing, no automatic charges. You’ll pay for the full semester when you register (or a prorated amount if joining mid-semester). It’s straightforward, predictable, and done.
Nope! We’ve got you covered with all the instruments and materials you’ll need. Just bring yourselves—ready to sing, move, and connect.
That’s actually perfect. You don’t need any musical experience to join. When your child sees you enjoying music, they feel safe and inspired to do the same. This class isn’t about “performing”—it’s about connection, joy, and shared experiences.
Yes. Through our Sound Play scholarship fund, we offer discounts or sliding-scale tuition for families receiving WIC benefits, Early Intervention services, or who are fostering children. We believe every family deserves access to joyful music-making. Reach out—we’ll make it work for you.
"Joining and participating is so simple, even with multiple kids. The instructors create an environment where everyone feels included, free to explore music, and supported no matter their personality or energy level."
"We joined for the music, but we stayed for the community.
I’ve met so many wonderful parents here."
"My son used to hide behind me during group activities. Now he’s in the front row, dancing and singing. It’s been such a joy to watch."
If you're feeling unsure, you're not alone. Most families start out a little nervous—and leave wondering why they didn’t join sooner. When you enroll, you’re not just signing up for a class. You’re joining a warm, welcoming community and getting:
