Meet Miss Cheryl 💛
Hi, I’m Cheryl!
I’ve been sharing the joy of music with young children for over 20 years, and with my background in vocal performance, I bring energy, expression, and a touch of theatrical fun to every class.
At home, I’m a mom of two, married to my husband, and our house is always lively with two dogs, two cats and a bunny as part of the fun!

Why Families Love It
Classes are thoughtfully designed to support your child’s development through play, movement, and music. Perfect for ages 0–5, with easy adaptations so babies, toddlers, and preschoolers can all join the fun.
A joyful space for movers, explorers & watchers
Every child is welcome to participate in their own unique way-whether they sing, dance, cuddle with a caregiver, observe quietly, or jump right in with the instruments and props.
While classes are mixed-age, the flow is intentionally built around the toddler attention span with frequent transitions between movement and calm moments.
There is never pressure to "do it just so." Children build confidence by joining when they are ready, and that gentle approach helps even the shyest little music makers feel successful.

Why Parents Choose Lil’ Music Makers
Miss Cheryl is truly amazing!!! As a first-time mom bringing my baby to his very first class, I was a little nervous, but she made the experience so special from day one. Her energy is beautiful, her voice is lovely, and you can tell how much the kids adore her. This class quickly became our favorite day of the week. The songs, the dancing, the joy she brings into the room it’s just magical. We feel so lucky to have found her.

Miss Cheryl’s kids music class is truly something special. Her enthusiasm and passion are obvious from the moment class begins, and she creates such a warm, joyful environment for both kids and parents. Each session is thoughtfully put together with a great mix of instruments, creative songs, and engaging activities—our favorites include the parachutes, hand puppets, and all the interactive elements she brings in. The class also incorporates plenty of movement, which keeps the kids active and excited throughout. What really sets her apart is how she extends the experience beyond the classroom. She shares additional resources through email and her YouTube channel, making it easy to continue enjoying music at home. It’s clear she genuinely cares about fostering a love of music in children. As an added bonus, she offers free play time with toys before class starts, which is such a nice touch and helps kids ease into the session. I recommend this class again and again—it’s been a wonderful experience for our family.
