"Children have an open and absorbing mind and introducing them to music as early as possible should be a goal of every parent and adult. My personal intention is to plant a seed in their hearts and reveal this wonderful world of sounds, vibes, emotions, and moods which will not only give a strong music foundation if they choose music as their primary occupation but also help them grow and bloom into confident and happy adults."

Hi! I am the founder of LittleTone Music. It's so nice to meet you!

My kids have been learning from Irina since past several years. They love her. I think her curriculum is best suited for younger kids. Ever since she moved out of silicon valley, my kids miss her a lot. I hope to join her lessons soon for the younger one

I’m happy to provide a testimonial for LittleTone Music. Irina has worked with our preschool-aged group for two years. As a former K-12 school district administrator, I was quickly impressed with Irina‘s musical talent and her ability to inspire both joy and love of learning in young children. With a quiet, yet attention-getting demeanor, Irina‘s music curriculum and strategies develop children’s delight in music while enabling children of diverse backgrounds and abilities to experience music and learn essential concepts.

Ирочка не только талантливый музыкант, но и великолепный учитель. Ходили на занятия по фортепиано. Сын в восторге и от музыки, и от Иры. Очень рекомендую))))

My 4 year old daughter loves her music classes with Irina. She has attended for almost a full year and looks forward to them every week! Irina is great with young children, she’s encouraging and also provides gentle guidance to help them follow directions. I like the variety of singing, exposure to various instruments and age-appropriate music theory. I highly recommend her classes for anyone that would like to expose and develop their children’s interest and love for music.

Irina is a wonderful teacher: she has some special approach to kids. My son is looking forward to the class each time. He has been coming to Irina for a year already. He sings a lot afterwards and expresses lots of interest in music and instruments and tries to use everything as an instrument:-) I am very glad we’ve found Irina and her studio.

Our children have had the best experience with Irina. They started when they were 4 and 6 and continue to this day. Both have become more musical, embraced group lessons, but also individual instruments - guitar and piano, enjoy performing on stage, which is a skill of it own, and have learned many new songs and music concepts! Irina has a beautiful gift that she generously shares with the community!

We prioritize eco-friendly materials in our teaching, reflecting our commitment to nature through singing songs and promoting environmental protection. Our materials are predominantly made from natural and sustainable sources.

Our program includes diverse books, starting with our own for young children and gradually adding other theory, voice, and piano books. Tuition fee covers all materials.

Our custom music bags with name tags are made of 100% cotton, and will carry all necessary music supplies for each class.

We want our students to have the best learning experience.That's why we prepare a special music bag that will be given to each child at their first class(Music Soul and Singing Soul) and provide for a smooth and fun learning process.The materials that are in the bag will serve you for a long time and will be refilled with new supplies and worksheets at no cost to you.
