Testimonials


"As a first time Mom taking Juliana’s classes was a very enjoyable and beneficial experience for both myself and my daughter. Juliana became more than just a teacher but a friend. She introduced us to infant massage techniques, baby sign language and numerous new songs and activities we could also use at home. Not only did the classes give my daughter and I the opportunity to bond more but we made some wonderful friends for us both…a support network every new mom could use." ~ Tracy (Ladner)

"I looked forward to taking my son to Juliann's class every week. I could see the joy on my son's face every time we sang a new song or moved and swayed to the music. Secretly, however, I think my son likes Juliana's voice much better....always had big smiles for her voice and strange looks at Mommy when we sing on our own. We hope to sign up for a new class very soon." ~ Stephanie (North Delta)

"My son and I have taken several of Juliana's classes and highly recommend them for babies, toddlers, moms and/or dads! Juliana has a wonderful personality and a big smile. The classes are both functional and fun. My son is now a signing genius (okay I'm a little biased) and it all started with Juliana's "Sing and Sign" class."

"Participating in Juliana's baby sign class has been a truly joyful experience - for me and especially my 5 month old baby girl. Not only do I learn new things every class, but my daughter also gets such a kick out of the singing and the dancing! It has been informative and a lot of fun to learn the signs and to learn to interact with my baby on a different level. As an instructor, I really feel that Juliana takes the time to chat with every mom and takes an active interest in each individual's experience. Like other moms already have, I hope to be able to take the class for a second, maybe even a third time!" ~ Arlene (South Surrey)

" I've put my kids in other music classes and was never very impressed. I thought I'd give it another try with your class and Avery couldn't get enough. Three months later she's still asking for more music class and singing "It's our time....tap tap tap" over and over. Your classes are amazing I never thought anything could hold my 19 month old daughters attention for 45min. and at the end she still wanted more. We'll definitely be seeing you for round three in Sept." ~ Dawn

"Joshua and I have been taking Juliana's music and baby sign classes since he was four months old. Being a preemie, it was important for his growth and development to have age-appropriate stimulation and learning. Juliana's background in music, her lovely signing voice, and keen appreciation for infant growth and development have aided in Joshua becoming a well rounded and enthusiastic toddler. He loves music, playing instruments, and dances at every chance he gets! I would encourage everyone with a baby, infant, or toddler to take one of her classes and experience the benefits music brings to a child's life." ~ Kristjana (South Surrey)

"My son Ryan and I started taking Juliana’s classes when he was 4 months old. We started with the baby sign class. Juliana has such an inviting - calming demeanor that the children immediately take to her. I highly recommend taking the baby sign class as it’s helpful in communicating with your child and Juliana is an excellent teacher. And for fun interactive time I suggest the Music and Movement. Ryan is now almost a year old and he entertains us now with his “dance” moves." ~ Anne (Tsawwassen)


"Juliana's classes were exceptional. My daughter learned how to express herself through sign language and dance beacuse of Juliana's classes. To this day we still use the techniques we learned. Many many thanks." ~ Nuan and Jamessa (New Westminster)

"As a new mom...I was happy to find a class that both my little girl and I enjoyed. Olivia loved all the songs and the dancing we did to them gave me a good workout. Also, the class gave me the opportunity to meet other moms in our neighborhood which is a great bonus." ~ Liane (New Westminster)

"I was really happy and surprised at how many signs I learned while having fun with my baby girl! I also appreciated learning about child development and how music can play an important role, emotionally and physically." ~ Taslim (North Delta )

"Ronan and I look forward to our time each week where we sing, move and sign together in the company of other moms and a talented teacher. Juliana's sincere interest in both mom & baby surely show in her enthusiasm when leading the class. We've taken home songs we can sing over & over, and we learn something new every class!" ~ Angela (South Surrey)

"One of my favorite classes that my son Nolan and I have taken with Juliana was Music and Movement. It is non-stop singing and lots of moving..even I got a good workout! :) Nolan loved the simple yet effective action songs. Each verse could be easily repeated, and repeated, and repeated..at home! For example, we quickly loved the four parts of the "Bird Song"; and we continue to sing it in all different settings. I enjoy chatting with other mom's about parenting and appreciate the friendly environment that Juliana creates at each class." ~ Lianne (South Surrey)

"Jayden and I have been taking your classes since he was about 4 months old. We started with Baby Massage and Baby Sign Language. He truly enjoyed the hands on touch of the massage classes when he wasn't squirming to look at the other participants. The sign language class has been extremely helpful in allowing Jayden to communicate some simple concepts such as wanting "more", being "finished", "bye bye", and "bedtime". We continue to sugn with him as he is learning more verbal vocabulary.

We have also participated in the Music & Movement classes. We started out in the baby class and now have graduated to the toddler class. Jayden loves music and enjoys dancing, clapping and patting to different songs and beats. Music has been a wonderful introduction for us as it can be a great distractor from other less appropriate activities and has a soothing and calming effect when Jayden is worked up.

Thank you so much for providing these wonderful opportunities for us to learn and grow. You are a fabulous teacher and your enthusiasm and love of music really shine through in your classes." ~ Cheers, Jeneen & Jayden (South Surrey)

"Infant massage was such a special time for my baby and I. Juliana is a fantastic instructor who teaches the class with a very natural and comfortable style. It was a wonderful bonding time for us and it was also great because I was able to use what I learned in the class to comfort him when he was upset.

Juliana's music classes are wonderful. My son and I both had so much fun during the class. The songs are more fun than your traditional baby songs and my son loves the dance and movement. We always sing the songs that Juliana taught us at home and in the car. It is the best class that we've taken!" ~ Audrey (Ladner)

"Juliana is a great instructor. She makes the class fun for kids and parents. We get to sing songs, interact with our kids and with other parents. I would highly recommend this class to anyone planning on introducing music to their child." ~ Sheryne (New Westminster)

"The classes were great! The songs made the signs easy remember and my daughter Emma loved the singing & music! She's now thirteen months and is signing regularly as well as increasing her spoken vocabulary! Its fantastic to see her communicate! Thanks so much!"~ Cynthia (North Delta)

"Juliana's classes are so much fun! She provides an environment for children to learn and interact socially with each other while having fun with music and movement. My son and I look forward to class each week." ~ Sheri (South Surrey)

"My 10 month-old loved the music and movement classes. His face lit up when we were singing and dancing and he soon started mimicking the movements on his own at home! Taking the music & movement classes really showed me how much our son loved music and socializing with other babies." ~ Andrea (South Surrey)
