What to Expect
🧠 Wonderful musical immersion that’s hard to find in outdoor classes: We excel at live harmonies, ostinatos, and synergistic experiences that help both children and adults’ musical minds thrive 🎶 Playful, research-based music activities that support early childhood development 🪘 Hands-on instrument play with shakers, drums, bells, and more 💃 Movement and dance to encourage coordination and self-expression 🤗 A welcoming community of families making music together
Keeping Everyone Comfortable
We prioritize a safe and pleasant experience for all families. Our classrooms are well-ventilated, and we encourage mindful participation so everyone can enjoy making music together.
Please do a quick health check before heading to class. Stay home if anyone in your household shows symptoms like fever, cough, shortness of breath, or other signs of illness. If your child has a fever, rash, diarrhea, cough, or green/yellow mucus, please keep them home and schedule a makeup class once they’re feeling better. If you’re unsure about your child’s health, it’s best to be cautious.
Both of my children have absolutely LOVED Tam Tam Music Together with Jelena and Jemilla. Both Jelena and Jemilla are full of energy and kindness, and you can tell they absolutely love sharing music with the children. Not only do the classes have the children (and adults!) singing, clapping, dancing, and shaking along to songs in the sessions, but my children are constantly singing and dancing their way around our home and all of Brooklyn as well! This program has inspired my children's love of music--an interest that I know will continue to blossom as they grow.
My son loves his Tam Tam classes! It's a great indoor activity during the colder months. Jelena is a wonderful teacher, with great energy & she makes the class fun for all. My son has been going since he was 1 and he is about to be 20 months and is enjoying it more and more. He asks us to "sing" the book of songs at home and we all listen to the songs as a family.
We are so happy that we signed our son up for music classes with Jelena at Tam Tam. He has been going for several months now, and he absolutely loves it. When I start singing "Hello Everybody..." at home, his face lights up with a huge grin and it makes me so happy. Each class is different every week - it's not just the same several songs repeated in the same order over and over. New songs, new dances, and new toys and instruments keep it exciting! We understand how important music is for a baby's development and are thrilled to have found Tam Tam - we know our son is in great hands.
Jelena and Tam Tam are absolutely wonderful. She has helped instill a deep love of music in my son and her classes are so fun and engaging. Plus the songs are really enjoyable and not the typical annoying children's music. I cannot recommend Jelena's music classes more!
Our family has been attending Music Together class with Jelena for quite a few semesters now. It is easily our favorite part of the week! Jelena is an amazing educator who exudes so much warmth and love. As an early childhood educator myself, I can confidently say Jelena truly "gets" kids and is a total expert. Our daughter adores her and it has been a joy to see her grow and become so musical with Jelena's support.
I’ve been doing music classes with Jelena and Tam Tam for a couple years because we keep signing up! The classes are warm and fun with just the right amount of structure. My son loves them and it’s been great to see him evolve with the class. Highly recommend!
My seven month old daughter and I are in our second semester of Tam Tam and we love it. The babies class was perfect for her developmentally and got her to learn to love music quickly. Now that she is old enough for the mixed age class, she loves watching the older children, other babies, and parents and using her body to interact with the music more independently. We have had class with both Jemilla and Jelena and they are warm, enthusiastic, and so talented. We also love that the songs for each semester are available on the Muisc Together app—which is a life saver for long car rides and any other time my daughter needs soothing.
Our family has loved the music classes at Tam Tam. We started attending when my son was young and now his little sister is going to her own classes. Both of our kiddos have loved the songs and opportunities to try new musical instruments. Jelena is an incredibly dynamic, engaging, and compassionate teacher. It is clear from her classes that she loves what she does and she works to connect with and get to know each child in her classes. We love to play the music from classes at home and both kids (even the 9-month-old) light up when they hear the familiar songs. We highly recommend Tam Tam!
My son has been going to Jemilla's classes for over a year and they are terrific! I love that the classes are small and intimate unlike a lot of the other classes out there. Parents/caretakers also do some singing and participating which I think is fun and helps get the kids more into it. Really love Tam Tam and all Jemilla has contributed to my son's development and love of music!
We've been attending classes here regularly over the past few years, and I couldn't be more impressed. Jemilla and Jelena's gentle, patient approach creates such a welcoming environment, and they have a wonderful way of engaging with even the youngest infants. Highly recommend for any parents looking to nurture an early love of music and movement in their little ones.
I love Tam Tam and Jelena is a wonderful teacher. She has a great energy and ensures that the whole family has a blast each week. We've been participating for 2 years now with no plans to stop!
Both my sons have done Tam Tam with Jelena, one for 3 years. Perfect combination of routine and variance. The love of and enthusiasm for music is contagious and has already profoundly influenced my older son.
My daughter has done a few semesters of Tam Tam and absolutely loves it. The instructors are so engaging and the classes are always so fun. It's a highlight of our week!
We love Tam Tam music classes! Every time our son sees Jelena and especially when she starts playing the opening songs, he gets a huge grin and starts rocking to the music. Jelena has made the class so fun for Campbell and we listen to and sing the songs all the time at home. We highly recommend!
Can’t recommend this music class enough - we started when my son was 6 months old and have been attending for 2+ years. It’s fun, interactive for kids and parents and we love the music at home as much as we do in class! Jelena is a wonderful teacher and is amazing at keeping everyone in class engaged and having fun!
Can’t recommend enough! To watch our daughter go from shy and nervous the first semester to singing the songs, playing the instruments and yelling with excitement now is so beautiful. Jelena is beyond incredible. It’s such a fun experience to do with your little ones.
We love music together with TamTam! Mila has been attending class since she was 6 months old and now as a 2 year old she sings the songs at home, loves to go to class and sings often everyday! We love Jelena and Jemilla’s classes equally! They offer different styles and they are both filled with joy and celebration making class welcoming, fun, and joyful!
EXTRAORDINARY! My family is so happy to be a part of the Tam Tam Brooklyn x Music Together group. Yelena is an outstanding leader, the participating families have become friends, and our child has blossomed in the Tam Tam community. I highly recommend the program to anyone who is interested in music education for their child.
Make the Most Out of Your Class
Arrive on Time
We do our best to have our classes begin and end on time. Please make every effort to be prompt. It’s so much nicer for your child to be part of the Hello Song.
Get Involved
Your participation sets the stage for your child’s engagement. Sing, dance, drum—just have fun! Your enthusiasm will inspire your child, even if you feel a bit off-key or awkward.
Your Child’s Job Is Done When They Arrive at Class
We want the adults in class to participate actively — but all your child needs to do is show up. Each child has his or her own learning style, personality, and temperament. Your child does not need to sit still, pay attention, or do what the teacher is doing. They’ll absorb the musical magic whether they’re observing, exploring, or just chilling. As long as they are not posing a safety issue, let them do their own thing, and know that they are learning in their own way. You’ll be amazed at what they show you in a few weeks’ time, at home.
Keep the Musical Immersion Going
Sing, Don’t Talk: Stay focused on singing and participating to keep the class’s musical energy high. Silence between songs is a key time for kids to develop their musical thinking.
Put Away Phones/Photography/Food/Drinks: Keep your phone off and out of sight. Feel free to breastfeed or bottle-feed during class, but save snacks and drinks for later.
Extend the Music Fun at Home All Week Long
Class is just the beginning! Your child’s musical expression will happen later, at home. Each session, you will receive the songs we will sing in class – on the “Music Together” app with your unique download code and a picture songbook. To reinforce what your child learns:
Play the songs often at home and on the go—during playtime, before naptime, or even in the car. Play the songs while you are cooking dinner, and sing them when changing a diaper or pushing the stroller! This will make a HUGE difference in what your family gets out of our program. Repetition helps young children connect with the music.
Use the illustrated songbook like a picture book to remember songs and explore activity ideas.
Important: Make sure anyone bringing your child to class has read and understood these policies before attending. Thanks for your help in keeping our classes smooth and fun!
