I cannot say enough good things about Elevate Music Together!…read more I've been in classes with my son since he was 2 (he's now almost 8) and not only have they helped him with speech, social interactions, and general development, we've made life-long friends through the program. I started the program as a new mom and don't know what I would have done without the support I got from the other parents in the group. It's about more than music and movement (although that part is so fun), it's about the connection it helps you create with your kids and with other moms and dads in the community. Highly recommend this great program! And you don't have to be musical to enjoy it!

My family has been a part of this program for 6 years now, first with our older son beginning at 7 months of age, & then again with our second starting around the same time of his life. Our younger son LOVES it as much as our older son did but in different ways & it is a joy for me as a mother to get to be a part of that & give this to him. Getting to watch him absolutely take to the class, the music, the people-- his budding awareness & love of being involved with the class & music is so much fun! The teachers are AMAZING. Their pacing of a 45 min class is seamless. They offer opportunities to include songs that are special at home in class. Their interaction & connection with my sons is so special. It may be because I'm so seasoned now, but here in our 6th year being a part of the program, I have found myself enjoying singing along & doing the things with my child more than ever. I want everyone involved in this program to know how grateful I am for the gifts you have & share through your classes. I just love everything you all offer-- the experience itself, the teachers, the communication & kindness that is always always given. I will sing your praises again & again!

Miss Jenny is a brilliant piano instructor who made a huge improvement to my daughter's piano skills as well as musical theory.

If you are looking for a place to enroll your child, I do not recommend it at all. Jenny is never available to talk to parents. She is not responsive and does not provide feedback. The only time she reaches out, by a brief email, is to remind students of payments. Anyways, just my 2 cents.

My daughter began to take violin lessons from Ms. Lizzy since she was 6 year old. She had no prior…read moremusic lessons and just wanted to try it out. Knowing that violin playing has a steep learning curve, our plan was to just get her exposed to some music lessons and see how everything would pan out. From the very first lesson, Ms. Lizzy has shown a great deal of patience and she certainly had her ways to keep my daughter interested and engaged. My daughter sometimes could get really frustrated quickly. However, Ms. Lizzy was able to make things work for her very well. For example, when my daughter got stuck on a difficult passage or a new bowing or fingering pattern, and was on the verge of getting emotional, Ms. Lizzy would guide her to play something my daughter was familiar with, and it worked wonder to calm her down and reestablish confidence. She will then guide her back later to tackle the place where she was stuck on. In addition, she would also take quality time to converse with my daughter and guide her on how to handle challenges in each new song and techniques. Her being a great teacher to my daughter eventually inspired me to join the party to take my beginner lesson with her along with my daughter. Fast forward to now, we are close to a year into our lessons. My daughter and I were able to play some duets from Suzuki's Duets for Violin book already. The weekly lesson with Ms. Lizzy has been one of the best times we are looking forward to, rains or shine.

It's never too late, or too early. Ms. Kibbe and her staff are unfailingly gracious, gifted at and clearly enjoy teaching music. Ms. Kibbe's sincere interest and delight in teaching is refreshing. She is a gifted musician, inspiring her students with demonstrations of beautiful violin and viola music, good humor and productive instruction. Her knowledge, teaching ability, sincere kindness, patience, insight and interest in each student are only surpassed by her love of children, commitment to their development and her ability to encourage and gift the joy of music. The new offices of Snohomish County Music School are fresh, clean, comfortable, safe, welcoming and conveniently located close to the Everett COSTCO. I am both impressed and very grateful to Snohomish County Music School and especially to Ms. Kibbe for the first of many enriching years of violin. Mark Potampa, M.D.

She has the student work on theory, ear training, composition as well as learning new pieces and scales. Love her program and would recommend her instruction to anyone who wants to learn well. My son's piano skills have skyrocketed in just 2 months. Skype lessons were much better than I had expected. I was tentative at first because it felt like piano lessons should be live, but we purchased a good quality microphone and set up the laptop so she can see the student. Not only does she coordinate live recitals throughout the year, she holds group classes and professional testing which can be taken at a location near you. Last month, through Skype, we even participated in a special group lesson with her other students! Don't let distance stop you! This is much better than a YouTube video! Personally tailored, and also able to teach ADHD kids.
