What we do together
Music by Day offers private, one-on-one developmental sessions for children ages 0–5, delivered through music, play, and the science of serve and return. Each session is built around your child's curiosity, energy, and what they bring that day. Rather than a fixed curriculum, I work within a framework tailored to your child's personality and pace.
Every child develops on their own timeline. The age ranges below are a flexible guide, not a fixed track. I meet your child where they are and build from there.
What a session looks like
Every session is delivered in your home. After each session with your child, you receive a Day by Day: a brief written summary of what we covered, what I observed, and suggested activities to continue at home during the week.
Ages 0–2 — Sensory and auditory immersion
Infants and toddlers are already listening, responding, and building neural connections from birth. Sessions focus on establishing serve and return responsiveness through imitation, movement, and musical exposure, building the earliest associations between sound, play, and human connection.
Ages 2–4 — Emerging language and play
As language begins to emerge and expand, sessions incorporate more verbal interaction, storytelling, songs, and early instrument exploration to meet the child's growing ability to communicate, follow along, and engage imaginatively.
Ages 4–5 — Early musical foundations
At this stage children can sustain focused attention for longer stretches and their hand-eye coordination is developing rapidly. Sessions introduce pattern recognition, simple melodies, and early rhythm woven into imaginative play, building the groundwork for formal instruction when they are ready.
Packages and Logistics
Sessions are available in packages of 12, equivalent to approximately three months of weekly sessions.
Option A — Pay in full: 100% of the package total is due before the first session. Families selecting this option receive 5% off the total.
Option B — Split payment: 50% is due before the first session. The remaining 50% is due before Session 7.
Sessions are non-refundable. If a family needs to discontinue, a prorated refund is issued for undelivered sessions.
Sessions are available in 45 or 60 minutes. Length is selected at the time of enrollment and remains consistent throughout the package. A travel fee applies based on distance from the Mid-Wilshire area of Los Angeles and is assessed at the time of inquiry.
What we ask of you
Parents are expected to be present and engaged for every session, maintain a musically rich home environment between sessions, and communicate openly about their child's needs and progress. This is a collaborative process; your involvement is central to how it works.
