Our innovative approach to improvisation uses simple motifs and short musical ideas, creating a natural ease at the piano while building key theoretical concepts. We firmly believe that music has the power to emerge naturally from within, so let us help you discover your own musical personality.  

The Play a Story classes also serve as a beautiful bridge for beginning young students who wish to continue traditional piano methods in their musical journey.

    For mommies and babies under 1 year

    Motherhood is kind of a big deal right? In those early days, overwhelm is real. You’re caring for a new life and trying to do all the “right” things. There’s so much information coming your way and it can be tough to know where to turn first. We think a great first step starts with COMMUNITY and CONNECTION–a feeling that you aren’t alone.

    Intervals has crafted a safe and clean space for mommies of little ones under a year who are looking for connection and support from other moms. We have listened to the types of services that moms are curious about or need, and we’ve enlisted the help of some special guests. Each Momma Nest session highlights a new local specialist each week and is designed to provide a caring community in which you can ask questions as you learn and experience what our city has to offer new parents.

    Of course we know that socialization is also critical for not only mom, but baby as well. We’ve purposefully carved out a little extra time at the end of class each week so that moms and littles can just “be” and can get to know one another.

    Whether you are a first time mom, or a mom who has been down the newborn road before, we know you’ll thrive in our warm and supportive network at Momma Nest.

      What Parents are Saying

      Lisa Crane –

      “When I reflect on our journey thus far, I immediately think of the personal relationships that my daughter and myself have developed with other families and teachers. There’s an intimate and familiar feeling within the studio. It’s a unique experience to progress through the various levels of the Kindermusik program (and now Play a Story) and to see other children growing and learning alongside my own child.”
