"As a first time Mom
taking Julianas 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!"

" 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." ~

"My son Ryan and I started taking Julianas
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 its 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)
