Music class with Miss Sarah is the highlight of our week! She does a fabulous job engaging each child at their own developmental level and involving the caregivers. Her positive energy is contagious and our child lights up when we attend class. We’ve even started practicing our class songs at home. I highly recommend Melody Sprouts to anyone looking

"My two kids absolutely love Miss Sarah and the Let’s Play Music class! She makes learning music theory fun and engaging through play-based activities that keep young students excited and motivated. Her energy and dedication are truly unmatched—she clearly cares deeply about her students.
"Not only is she fantastic in class, but she’s also incredibly responsive outside of class, always willing to answer questions and provide support and encouragement. We feel so lucky to have found such a wonderful music teacher. Highly recommend her class to any family looking for a joyful and effective way to introduce their children to music!" -J. Moore
"Sarah McCormick taught two of my children in 4th grade and they both absolutely loved her. She helped them feel comfortable, confident, and loved. She knew how to manage a lot of kids with joy and compassion plus loads of fun. I loved how she wove music into their education. She taught them all several songs and had all the parents come in and watch them perform for us and I’ll never forget standing there with a bunch of grown ups literally crying because it was so sweet. I was embarrassed for myself but so happy to have been able to witness their joy with her and the music! There was so much love and happiness with her and those tiny people. My heart burst with gratitude that my children were privileged enough to have her as their teacher. She made them feel capable and confident and they knew she loved them. We will never forget her. My kids are now adults and still talk about her as their teacher. Thank you Sarah for your devotion to childhood development! 💛"- C. Rickenbach
"Sarah has a kind and tender heart that enables her to reach out and affect students. Students naturally respond to her goodness. She is able to establish clear boundaries. Sarah is one of the best teachers I have ever worked with. Her preparation is exemplary and her dedication is unmatched. The quality I admire most is her genuine desire to be helpful. She is eager to support and encourage others." C. Knight
"Let’s play music is a wonderful program that helps children learn foundational music skills that can be applied to any musical interest in their future- be it an instrument or singing- it’s not just for piano! We have loved the Let’s Play Music program and how fun the curriculum is. Though it is geared towards piano during years 2 and 3, the things kids learn in the program transfer well to anything music related. Sarah will do a fantastic job in bringing the curriculum to life and helping children learn foundational musical skills in an engaging and exciting way. Your kids will love this class and learn so much- and you might even learn a few things too. I absolutely loved spending one on one time with my child each week during class. I have known Sarah for many years and she is an excellent musician, singer, and teacher. She is organized and very passionate about helping children learn. I cannot think of a better person to teach these incredible classes!" -S. Winiecke
