Frequently Asked Questions

Can my baby start Mommy and Me music lessons before they can talk?

Yes. Babies as young as 6 months benefit from music sessions, even before they can sit unassisted. Sessions for very young babies focus on lap bounces, simple songs, gentle rhythm, and sound exploration. The bonding and listening exposure happens long before verbal language does.

Do I need any instruments or supplies for Mommy and Me?

No. Your matched teacher brings the simple instruments (shakers, hand drums, bells, scarves) needed for each session. Many families develop a small home stash of toddler-friendly instruments over time, and your teacher will recommend a few favorites if you’d like to play between sessions.

Do parents have to participate, or can I just drop off?

Parent or caregiver participation is the core of Mommy and Me. The whole point of these sessions is the bonding and shared musical experience between adult and child. You don’t need to be musical yourself. The teacher leads everything, and your role is to engage and play alongside your kid.

Do Soyulla teachers come to our home for Mommy and Me sessions?

Yes. In-home Mommy and Me music sessions are our most-requested format because young toddlers do best in familiar spaces. Your matched teaching artist comes directly to your home each week with whatever simple instruments and props the session needs. Studio sessions are also available at our Manhattan studio for families who prefer that setting.

How does Mommy and Me set my child up for formal music lessons later?

Children who experience early-childhood music typically transition into private piano, violin, voice, guitar, or ukulele lessons more easily around age 3 to 5. They’ve already built rhythmic awareness, listening skills, and comfort around instruments. Many of our Mommy and Me families seamlessly move into private lessons with a Soyulla teacher when their child is ready.

How does Soyulla match families with Mommy and Me music teachers?

We start with a 20-minute conversation about your child’s age, energy level, and what you hope to get out of the experience. From there, we identify the early-childhood music specialist who genuinely fits and make the introduction. Our 99% teacher-student fit rate is the result of this care.

How much do Mommy and Me music classes in NYC cost?

Pricing for Mommy and Me music sessions varies based on the teacher, format, and frequency. Rather than quote a number out of context, we’d rather have a quick conversation about your family and walk you through a clear, fixed price before anything begins. Most NYC families choose 30-minute weekly in-home sessions.

What ages are Mommy and Me music classes for?

Soyulla’s Mommy and Me music sessions are designed for babies and toddlers from roughly 6 months to 3 years old, paired with a parent or caregiver. Older 3-year-olds and 4-year-olds may transition into private piano, violin, or play-based individual lessons depending on readiness. Every age has an entry point.

What happens in a Mommy and Me music session?

A typical 30-minute session includes singing, simple percussion (shakers, bells, hand drums), movement and dance, lap bounces, and listening exercises. Sessions are entirely play-based and rooted in early-childhood music pedagogy. Your matched teaching artist guides the session, and you participate alongside your child.

What if the first Mommy and Me teacher is not the right fit?

We adjust. The whole point of our matching process is to get the fit right, and if something isn’t clicking after 3 or 4 weeks, we re-match without making it complicated. Early-childhood specialists are warm, playful people, and we have flexibility on our roster.

What NYC neighborhoods does Soyulla serve for Mommy and Me music classes?

We provide in-home Mommy and Me music sessions across Manhattan, Brooklyn, the Bronx, Queens, and parts of New Jersey. Common neighborhoods include the Upper East Side, Upper West Side, Tribeca, West Village, Chelsea, SoHo, Park Slope, Brooklyn Heights, DUMBO, Astoria, Williamsburg, Long Island City, Riverdale, and many more.

What’s the benefit of Mommy and Me music compared to a music app or YouTube?

Live in-person music sessions support language development, motor coordination, social bonding, and rhythmic awareness in ways no screen can replicate. Studies consistently show early-childhood music exposure with a real teacher, in real time, with a parent present, builds lasting musicianship and stronger parent-child bonds. Mommy and Me is the foundation of a musical life.
