Bella Quattro Strings

I have taken both of my children and my niece to Stephanie’s Music Together class for the past 4 years. As a musician and former music teacher, I highly recommend Stephanie. She is a truly wonderful and caring teacher. Also, she has a strong foundation and knowledge of music education, so children can learn music basics at the earliest age. Her class is very organized and I really enjoy how she incorporates the violin in her class. My kids and I love her class! I can’t recommend it enough. It is a special time that we would look forward to each week!

I have been taking my daughter to Stephanie’s class since she was a baby. She is now 4 and still loves going. Stephanie is very talented and introduces young children to music in such a beautiful way. Stephanie also connects lovingly with each child and understands and appreciates their unique personalities. This class has been a great experience for us both.

This music program for children, in the very capable hands of teacher Stephanie Brown, is the highlight of my young granddaughter’s week. I have taken her to other Music Together classes, but this is by far the best we’ve experienced.
Stephanie has an amazing knack for connecting to the children, with her «up close» violin playing and encouraging tone. It’s a friendly atmosphere to which Stephanie brings an intense positive energy.
I think every child is born with musical capacity — a class like this starts opening the door to the wonderful world of music.

I couldn’t recommend this class more. We have been doing it since my youngest was 5 months. Now, three years (and two more kids) later we are still LOVING her class!!! Stephanie is fantastic.
We actually took a break when my third was due and noticed something VERY significant. After dinner was always musical time and the girls asked to do it almost every day. When we took our break we noticed the girls didn’t ask to play music even once. When we started the classes back up again the girls once again asked to play all the time! I knew it was having an impact, but WOW!
My second is about to turn two and she has a wonderful sense of rhythm due to this class. She claps along and when the cds come on at home she jumps up and starts dancing with the music!
The only reason I wouldn’t want to write this review is because the secret might get out! ;) You wont regret taking this class for years and years! :)

We love Music Together with Teacher Stephanie! I took my son to this music class for several years and now I’m back with my daughter. Both kids have enjoyed the violin interaction at the beginning of class, the variety of songs, movement, instruments and props.
This is the perfect intro to music for small children. We are lucky to have Stephanie in our community.

I highly recommended Music Together to all the new mums & dads. Stephanie is a wonderful teacher and my son loves her. He started going at 8mo and is now nearly 2.5yrs, he is constantly singing and acting the actions to the music he hears at class. It’s a wonderful way to interact with your child. You also get a CD to play in the car or at home which can turn a frown upside down.
Bravo, Bella Quattro Strings for bringing music into our lives.

I have been taking my children to Bella Quattro Strings for 5.5 years now. Teacher Stephanie is phenomenal. Children just light up when she plays the violin. I feel so lucky that she is in Carmel and my children are enriched by her beautiful music.

WHAT AN AMAZING Experience, for our twin boys, they adore Teacher Stephanie and have an ear for Violin and music now that cannot be surpassed. We appreciate every week we spend in this wonderful class, the boys love there ’ music friends’ and adore teacher, and enjoy rhythm, strings, and sing along freely at age 2. Thank you Teacher Stephanie, for bringing your talents and enriching our boys lives until forever. Definitely something you do NOT want to miss. It is our favorite part of the week.

I’ve been taking my son to Stephanie’s Music Together class since he was 6 months old. Four years later, he still loves going! If he emerges from childhood with any musical talent, she is 100% responsible for its development!
Stephanie is one of the most patient and generous people I’ve ever met. As a class of little kids, it can sometimes be a high energy environment. Yet Stephanie is always steady and calm, in a warm way that brings out the best in everyone.
Whenever I meet new parents trying to find their way with a little one, Stephanie’s classes are my first recommendation!

My 2 boys did one of these classes last year and loved it!!! Teacher Stephanie is extremely passionate about music and it rubs off on the children. The boys were very enthusiastic about going to their weekly class, and always got up to dance and sing. They were 2yrs and 4yrs at the time, and both of them really benefited from it. They still sing the songs they learnt in class last year. Also the music CD you receive in class that contains all the songs — well, that still gets played in our car today and the boys sing along to it.
The classes have a lovely relaxed feel to them as well, so it’s enjoyable for the parents and the kids. There is also a gorgeous playroom upstairs from the class where the kids are permitted to play before and after class… this room was a massive hit with my boys too!
I highly recommend this class to anyone who wants to introduce music to their children.

Stephanie is passionate about Music and Teaching children, the perfect combination for Music Together classes that you will remember forever.
If you want to help your child benefit from the power of music there is no better opportunity in California than Bella Quattro Strings in Carmel!

Usually Music Together is taught by young girls (in their early to mid-​twenties) or moms that have an apt for music, or some extensive music training, and most enjoy children. Stephanie is a top rate violinist and musician that could have a career as a professional violinist without teaching her trade to children and introducing babies to the joy of music. Plus, she is obviously educated on the behavior of, and loves, babies and children. I went from a Music Together class in Washington DC 4 years ago to my first Music Together class with Stephanie 3 years ago. Wow, what a difference; a fun sweet little mommy and me music class in DC to a fun, but incredibly professional, family class here in Carmel with teacher Stephanie. She starts class playing her violin, and takes time with each baby and young child playing in front of them. Nearly bringing new moms to tears watching for the first time their baby touch a violin and look so intently at it while it is being played very close to them. I have taken several classes a year with both my young boys in the past three years. I highly recommend Stephanie as a private tutor and a Music Together teacher!

Teacher Stephanie is a fantastic teacher! She has such an amazing way of engaging the kids in song and instrument playing, and at the same time, making it fun for us parents to watch our little ones get involved in music. My kids have so much fun during class. They sing the songs at home and have become so much more interested in playing our little instruments we have at home.
Having grown up playing music, it makes me so happy that my kids have shown excitement for music after watching Stephanie play her violin throughout class. Stephanie is so positive and patient with all the kids. My kids ask every week when we can go see Teacher Stephanie at music class.

My boys absolutely adore Teacher Stephanie!!! Classes are lots of fun and very engaging. My boys have a real appreciation now for music and are always wanting practice.

I have also taken my children to Teacher Stephanie’s Music Together class for five years. My first child went from 9 months to 4.5 years old, and the next two started in the womb. We enrolled continuously, without missing a single semester. Needless to say, I am a fan. Teacher Stephanie is the kind of person anyone would want their children to know. She has impeccable manners. She is kind. She is endlessly upbeat. And my children love to say «amAHzing» in her fun, Australian accent. Moreover, Teacher Stephanie has worked with children over twenty years, and her experience shows in how expertly she handles what could otherwise turn into sticky situations. Her classes run smoothly as silk, and this feat leaves most of us parents in awe. Finally, Teacher Stephanie has a long list of music credentials and is a performing violinist and recording artist. She imparts a wealth of musical knowledge to the children: harmony, rhythm, dynamics and musical genres. The children learn by dancing, imitating sounds, and beating out drum beats. Teacher Stephanie plays violin to each child at the beginning of class, and this is a moment no one wants to miss, so people come early. Classes always start on time. My two older children went on to study violin with Teacher Stephanie in private lessons, and I attribute their success in violin to their early preparation in Music Together. She willingly shares all that she knows and has lent me inspiring books and materials on early childhood musical education. Teacher Stephanie is deeply knowledgeable about music, children and violin playing, performance, and pedagogy. I could not recommend her musical program more highly.

I’ve been taking my children to Teacher Stephanie for 5 years now — first with my little boy and now with my little girl. It’s been fantastic exposing my children to music at such a young age. Both started at about 6 months. They love it — and so do I. They both sing the songs outside of class! Teacher Stephanie is so nurturing and sweet to all the children. It’s a special time I look forward to each week!
