Music and Me

PLAY-BASED MUSIC CLASSES IN ST.LOUIS CREATED BY EDUCATORS AND PARENTS

where every age gets to play

Designed for little ones aged 6 months to 6 years, these classes invite children and their grownup to sing, dance, and play together while building memories that will last a lifetime!

Music & Me is more than a class. It’s a community built on connection, creativity, and play. Through our classes, events, and local partnerships, we bring families together to make music—and memories.

The boy is holding a small guitar, sitting barefoot, wearing a green sleeveless shirt and shorts, with a neutral expression. There are string lights hanging above and a wooden privacy fence in the background.

Music and Me is an original play-based music class created by longtime educators — and parents of three — Laren and Aimee Loveless. They believe that music and play are at the heart of nurturing connection, both with your children and within your community.
