WELCOME TO NIGHTINGALE MUSIC SCHOOL!

Established in La Jolla, California in September 2002 Nightingale Music School has been offering music classes and enrichment programs to babies, toddlers, preschoolers and elementary age students throughout San Diego County.

Nightingale Early Childhood Music Classes combine all types of music, from traditional nursery songs, to classical, to rock-n-roll with creative movement, games and percussion instrument playing to enhance learning and initiate children into the magical world of music. Music classes are for ages 6 months – 5 years old and are held in our 2 studio locations in La Jolla and South Park.

In addition we offer Bilingual Sensory Play and Art and Culture Class with ZoneBK taught by Yuru Lameda and Movers & Groovers Dance Classes with Fancy Nancy! Learn more about these enrichment classes under the “other classes” tab!

I’ve been taking my 14 month old to Nightingale’s infant/toddler music classes, and they are a highlight of our week! They use a variety of props/instruments every class, and it’s very hands on. Fancy Nancy, the teacher, is delightful, talented, engaging, and so great with kids. All the moms/nannies and kids are lovely too, and it’s been nice to develop relationships over the weeks. We signed up for another 8 week session and many of the other moms did the same!

Nightingale Music is a play-based, child-focused early music education series, whose quality and consistency are unmatched in San Diego County. The classes are held in a colorful, carpeted studio and led by warm and welcoming teachers, many of whom have some form of early education training or experience teaching or working with children in their fulltime jobs. The program at Nightingale has been running for over 20 years, and Jennifer has it dialed to perfection. Each 8-week session has its own theme ("Hooray for the Holidays"; "Mother Goose Rock & Rhyme"; "Wonderful World of Music" to name a few) and its own theme-related songs, but the rhythm of the classes is consistent from week to week and session to session, providing an ideal environment for this tender age whose brains thrive on routine. The school also has an incredibly generous makeup policy to allow for any planned family vacations or unplanned family illnesses, and visiting family members and friends are always welcomed to watch or participate in class. My daughter attended her first Nightingale Music session when she was just 7 months old, and has been consistently enrolled since she was about 14 months. Now at two and a half, she can sing her solfege scale on pitch, and understands the fundamentals of rhythm, tempo, and dynamics. She stops and dances whenever we hear music out in the world (or asks me to play music on my phone so she can dance in our backyard), and sings constantly. She's made friends with some of the other kids in her cohort, imprinted onto a few of her teachers, and Jennifer has made us feel like part of a larger Nightingale family from the very start. As a 70% SAHM, I've tried out a lot of Mommy-and-Me type classes around San Diego, but Nightingale is the one that we've stuck with, and the one that I would most recommend.

This has been a staple in enriching my children with music for each baby I had/ will have. It is our favorite part of the week. Jennifer, the owner,  will help you find a perfect class for your child. Rosie is always there with a smile. We love Ms. Nancy's extra fun music classes. All the teachers there have beautiful voices and love children. They all seem to be professional vocalists and know how to play instruments.  They do musical education, teach the kids about music vocab, how to play instruments,  teach rhythm and the major scale, and it is all super fun and engaging.  My kids love every minute and are never wondering what is coming next. Perfect from baby to preschool. There are also classes for older kids and more dance and art classes getting added to the schedule. Everything is great quality.  I feel super lucky to have this in our area. Oh and they are awesome of you miss a class for any reason you can make up. So you never feel like you have to attend with a crabby kid if it just isnt gonna happen that day #momlife.

My children have been attending since my eldest was 2 years old , now my son 6 and my daughter both take the keyboard class, my daughter has been reading music and can play with both hands . We love the instructors, and the cost is very reasonable, considering it would take a lobotomy to reverse what they have learned through out the years. My favorite is when I get the song  "Elephants Have Wrinkles" stuck in my head when I'm surfing or cruising through the grocery store.
