About
Sweet Potato Music offers interactive musical play that includes music and movement, ear training, and work with pitch and rhythm. Children take part in activities that use movement, counting, colors, animal sounds, pattern recognition, and expressing feelings through body movement. Classes use high quality materials such as in-tune xylophones, puppets, bubbles, and ukulele, along with original kids’ songs.
• Ages: 0–4 years old
Sweet Potato Music was developed by founder Leah Paul (she/her/hers), an acclaimed musician, composer, decades-long music educator, and mom. Leah Paul has taught instrumental music to underserved communities through the Harmony Project of Los Angeles and general music in public schools through Education Through Music, and has led school orchestras as Musical Director. Her teaching background includes adjudicating the National YoungArts Competition, guest lecturing on music education at colleges and forums, and four years of teaching music at a school serving children with developmental disabilities alongside occupational therapists, psychologists, and neurologists. She has taught a range of instruments including flute, clarinet, guitar, voice, ukulele, and recorder, and as a composer and flutist, she “navigates between jazz, experimental and contemporary music with confidence and authority” (eMusic).
According to the program’s mission, Sweet Potato Music brings the highest quality music classes to families and treats learning to make music like learning a language, with both passive listening and active participation. Every Sweet Potato Music song is crafted to engage children actively and passively with musical skills and developmental milestones included, with a focus on early language, social, and sensory skills through music and movement, as well as melody, rhythm, dynamics, counting, colors, animal sounds, pattern recognition, and expressing feelings through body movement. Classes follow the same pacing and rhythm each time, and Sweet Potato Music is made with ♥ in Los Angeles, CA.
Sweet Potato Music notes that its classes feature refreshing original kids’ songs that parents may find themselves singing all week, and that the program includes interactive experiences for both parents and children through music and movement. The program describes its materials as high quality, including in-tune xylophones, puppets, bubbles, and ukulele, and states that “everyone loves bubbles.”
Parent and public testimonials describe the classes as “so much better than other types of parent and me classes” (Emilie W., 5-star Yelp review) and “the sweetest class” with “songs [that] are fun for baby and me” (Jennifer Love Hewitt). Hilary Duff describes Leah’s songs as “spirited (and catchy!)” and “the perfect introduction into music and movement” and calls the class “a breath of fresh air of interaction and engagement.” David Costello, Principal Trumpet of the LAPC Orchestra, notes that he expected “the same old camp tunes,” but instead found that Leah has “all original amazing songs that are really good and the kids just love them.”
