The Music Class Inc. is an early childhood music education company that offers music and movement classes for babies, toddlers, and preschoolers, with programs that are research-based and designed to teach children in the ways they learn best. The company was founded by Rob Sayer in Atlanta, GA, in 1998 and has grown into an international program based in Atlanta with over 1,000 locations and 75,000 students worldwide. The Music Class is a family-owned and operated business with a small but dedicated office team based in Atlanta, and many staff either teach The Music Class or attended classes with their own children.
The leadership team includes founder and director Rob Sayer, COO and director of The Music Class in China Raina Sayer, and Executive Vice President of Operations and Technology David Wetzel, who oversees all aspects of the Atlanta center; Rob Sayer and his daughter Raina both teach classes and run the business together in Atlanta. The teaching staff includes instructors with extensive arts and music backgrounds, such as Berne Poliakoff, who majored in Voice at the College of Charleston and has been a professional musician her entire adult life; Bowen Hoadley, who graduated from Georgia State University with a BA in Music; and David Wetzel, a graduate of the Berklee College of Music in Boston, MA. Other instructors include Doris Seiden, who has a B.F.A and M.F.A. in Dance from the NYU School of the Arts and teaches yoga, drama, and classical piano privately and in after-school programs throughout Atlanta, and Heather Blank, who performed with the Women’s Glee Club and Noteworthy Women’s Ensemble while earning a BA in Telecommunications at UGA and worked for over 10 years in the television industry. Many Atlanta teachers can be heard on the award-winning recordings that families receive in class.
The Music Class states that all of its programs are research-based and that it believes music is a creative and expressive art, and that the path to becoming a musical person should be joyful. The company describes its core values as focusing on high-quality education and support for children, teachers, and business partners, and it states that it embraces families from all cultures and backgrounds and stands against racism in both its classrooms and its music. The program offers both “mommy and me” style classes and a preschool music curriculum, and children are exposed to a large variety of musical styles through different song collections that feature award-winning music from around the world. The Music Class notes that many of its collections feature recordings by Grammy-nominated musicians, and that families have the option to schedule a free trial class.
The Music Class describes itself as working very closely with all of its center directors around the world. It is also described as a family business where staff either teach The Music Class or attended classes with their own children. Testimonials from parents mention experiences at locations such as East Cobb, Toco Hills, Kirkwood, Dunwoody, Suwanee, Johns Creek, and Smyrna, and describe teachers as enthusiastic, warm, and engaging, with comments about children enjoying the music, recognizing songs at home, and families listening to the music in the car and through an app.
