QUOTES Here are what others are saying about Miss Merja’s Music Room:
“Merja Soria ignites a love of music in children, especially those who are
very young. She brings together musical expertise and a keen awareness of
how children learn. The fact that Ms. Merja has advanced classical
training and a serious background in Finnish music complements her deep
grounding in how children learn and enjoy music. Merja's eternally
positive attitude toward both music and children is matched only by her
resourceful ability to develop imaginative activities that hone both
skills and interest in music. My two children have studied with Ms. Merja
since they were 18 months old and today they demonstrate a love of music
and rapidly-developing skills in several instruments. If you are a parent
interested in seeing your children genuinely enjoy reading, singing, and
learning about music, Ms. Merja is the teacher for you.”

"My daughter really looks forward to her music with Merja. The
sessions are well-paced, and the variety of songs, movement, and play
keep the whole class engaged and learning. I really enjoy being able
to participate with my daughter in all of the activities. There are
always songs and games to remember and sing in our house throughout
the week!"

“Our kids couldn't wait to go to class. Ms. Merja always made the class fun and engaging. She makes them love music as they learn about it.”
