We have been frequenting Mariella’s class since The Before. It was our daughter’s first group play experience and remains the most reliable and consistent even throughout the duration of the pandemic, when we had a second child and felt increasingly isolated. Jazz Baby has provided a community for us and we are forever grateful for Mariella: her spirit, music and goofiness and ability to keep us uplifted.” — Melissa Neil https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60da99427cefd47227c87bbe/1631821119591-2XXEBA3PE13J1S93H1J8/IMG_2434.jpeg Home - “Mariella and her Jazz baby class are an absolute joy for kids and parents. I started bringing my son when he was a very shy, serious 8 month old and at 23 months, it is his absolute favorite part of the week. Mariella is warm, engaging, and as my son says, "so silly!" She has truly helped him come out of his shell, and now he loves singing and dancing along in class. As a parent, I love listening to Mariella play some jazz classics along with baby hits. She has really instilled a love of music in my son, and her class has been such a wonderful bonding time for us. I can't say enough good things! Thank you Mariella for sharing your talent and time with us.” — Deanna and Albie https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60da99427cefd47227c87bbe/1631818168329-BKTNAKH4RA8U6MZGV33I/IMG_3553_+2.jpg Home - “Our baby (now toddler) started going to jazz baby when he was about 3-4 months old. at that time, it was an amazing space for a new parents in a new neighborhood to connect with other parents and a great reason to leave the house with a newborn. He loved listening to the music and watching all of the other babies. Now that he’s a toddler, he loves to play and dance along. He knows all of the songs (“zoom zoom” is a particular favorite in our home). Mariella creates a warm, welcoming, and super fun environment for both kids and adults. She remembers every kid’s name, facilitates fun activities, and is just such a sweet person. plus she can sing and play music beautifully!” — Natasha, Cole, and Noah
