Our girls have been learning and loving music with Maryke for over 10 years - from
learning rhythms as babes in arms to piano as pre-teens, and they have continued to stay engaged,enthusiastic and motivated. We can't imagine their lives without music - or their music without Maryke.

The music class is so fabulous - children learn a lot and they enjoy every
minute of it. Malou, caregiver attending ME 14-24.

The class is fun and exciting for both grown-ups and little ones. The music and
activities capture the attention of the children. You can see the kids develop
and become more independent and involved as the classes progress.
Karen, with daughter in ME 24-36 months

Ava and I leave every music class singing the whole way home! It sets our
happy mood for the day. Thank you for making music so much fun.
Lisa, with daughter in ME 24-36 months

Our kids have been participating in music programs at the studio for 12 years now.
They love the bright spacious studio,the high quality programming delivered in a
nurturing and fun environment, and most of all, they love the wonderful and dedicated director,
Maryke Sluis. Participation in music programs at the LMS has instilled a love and appreciation of music
in our children who are currently taking and enjoying piano lessons.

My girl/boy twins have taken music with Maryke since they were
6 months old and they are now 4. It has become a part of our
weekly routine that we all adore. It also spills into our home life
as we sing,dance, march and play instruments that we've learned
at music class. Maryke is truly talented, not only as a beautiful
musician and singer, but also with children and knowing how and when
to build upon their skills. Her program develops beautifully
with the children over the weeks and years so they are continually
learning and enjoying music as part of their life. Catherine

Ever since I have been coming to your program, I have
enjoyed it so much. All the kids that I have been bringing
with me have loved it too.
Remy, caregiver of four in various ME programs.

My three boys have enjoyed a lot of children's programming
in Leaside, but nothing compares to the Leaside Music
Studio. It is all smiles and excitement on our way to music
class. They hum and sing the songs all week.
Nicole, with sons in ME 14-24 and IM 3

Wonderful class - nice variety of songs, children certainly
enjoy themselves! Maryke is great with the kids - they love her.

I am a mother of three, aged 9,6, and 4 1/2.
My sons attended Maryke's music class when they were 2 and 3 1/2.
Maryke is warm, welcoming and very talented. There were such a great
variety of songs and activities, we would leave feeling energized!
My daughter has been taking piano lessons for over a year
and absolutely loves it! Maryke makes teaching fun and interesting
for children and when you have a child who will go to the piano
so willingly and with a smile, that in itself speaks volumes about
the overall teacher-student relationship!
My children love music and singing - thank you Maryke! Judy

Both Iain and Hannah have learned the words and
actions of the songs and its great to have a copy of the
words so we can sing at home as well. You have a wonderful
way of engaging the children . . . it is so heartwarming to
watch the children each week and to see them interact
with you and with each other. We will definitely be
back in the Fall. Vicki, grandmother of 2, ME 14-24 months

The children are given the freedom to explore the world of music
and to develop their own creativity. It is a friendly, fun, and
accepting learning environment.
Julia, with son in ME 24-36 months

A beautiful voice with wonderful instrumental. The children
love the variety of sound and instruments.
Jennifer with daughter in ME 6-14 months

Great class.  My kids love it and love coming every week.

“It’s good!  I sing.  It’s beautiful“. (Elle, IM 3 )
What a positive experience.  Elle looked so forward to music
class each week
(Elle’s mum)

My daughter enjoys the songs at home all week long.  She is
developing a real appreciation for music that will last a lifetime. 
(IM 3 )

A great program.  It’s not just about music but learning about
socializing with one another.  I  plan on having Colin go through
the whole program to age 5 as his brother did.  He really enjoyed
the program from a baby right through to SK. 
(Joyce, mother of 2 in the IM Programs)

“ I loved it a lot”.  (Erin, IM 3 )
The class was wonderful!  Erin looked forward to it every week and
we are looking forward to coming back in September!
(Erin’s mum)

What a wonderful program!  An organized, well-rounded program
that Matthew enjoys.  He sings all the songs at home. 
Thanks for everything.
(Pam, IM 3)

It’s great.  Abby loves it so much. 

My daughter has been coming since she was 6 months old
and she loves it.  She is now 4 and comes all by herself. 
She sings all day long.  It is such a great program!
