Welcome to Melody Sprouts
Where Children Grow to Love Music
Music class with Miss Sarah is the highlight of our week! She does a fabulous job engaging each child at their own developmental level and involving the caregivers. Her positive energy is contagious and our child lights up when we attend class. We’ve even started practicing our class songs at home. I highly recommend Melody Sprouts to anyone looking for a way to introduce their child to music! - Jennifer Liter
Melody Sprouts currently provides two exciting, research-based curricula that teach children to love and succeed in music! Sound Beginnings for 0-4 year-olds and Let's Play Music for 4-6 year-olds.
​
At Melody Sprouts we cultivate creativity, confidence, and connection in children through engaging, inclusive, and dynamic music education. We nurture each child's innate abilities and foster a lifelong love of music; inspiring joy, creating connection, unlocking potential, and building a foundation for a lifetime of musical exploration and achievement.

"My two kids absolutely love Miss Sarah and the Let’s Play Music class! She makes learning music theory fun and engaging through play-based activities that keep young students excited and motivated. Her energy and dedication are truly unmatched—she clearly cares deeply about her students.
"Not only is she fantastic in class, but she’s also incredibly responsive outside of class, always willing to answer questions and provide support and encouragement. We feel so lucky to have found such a wonderful music teacher. Highly recommend her class to any family looking for a joyful and effective way to introduce their children to music!" -J. Moore
"Sarah McCormick taught two of my children in 4th grade and they both absolutely loved her. She helped them feel comfortable, confident, and loved. She knew how to manage a lot of kids with joy and compassion plus loads of fun. I loved how she wove music into their education. She taught them all several songs and had all the parents come in and watch them perform for us and I’ll never forget standing there with a bunch of grown ups literally crying because it was so sweet. I was embarrassed for myself but so happy to have been able to witness their joy with her and the music! There was so much love and happiness with her and those tiny people. My heart burst with gratitude that my children were privileged enough to have her as their teacher. She made them feel capable and confident and they knew she loved them. We will never forget her. My kids are now adults and still talk about her as their teacher. Thank you Sarah for your devotion to childhood development! 💛"- Corinne Rickenbach
