Early Childhood Art & Music Classes
We help littles jumpstart neuroplasticity by exposing them to art and music, all while giving caregivers support and a sense of community. Our early childhood programs are designed to shape how children think, explore and express themselves - from phonemic sound and gross motor development to pattern recognition and eye tracking.

MEET THE INSTRUCTORS
CHRISTOPHER “MR. CHRIS” SHEARD
(he/him) is a music teacher and teaching artist with over 15 years in the field of early childhood music. He has been certified in Music Together, Wolf Trap Early Learning Through the Arts and the Young Audiences National Teaching Artist Credential. He is the founder of Blue House Music, a direct-to-family early learning music program that serves children under five and their caregivers. A Bywater resident and father of two, Mr. Chris currently works as the lower school music teacher at The McGehee School for Girls and Little Gate.
SOFIA MOCK
(she/her) is a New Orleans based singer-songwriter with the gentlest touch on the scene today. In the company of Texan classical and folk musicians from infancy, Mock inherited a clarinet from her mom and a guitar from her dad. With a band that features nylon-string guitar, cello, and upright bass, Mock’s arrangements weave together her classical background and inspiration from traditional jazz. Her years of experience as a NOLA public school teacher bloom into her compassionate and direct lyrics. We are all better off when Sofia Mock sits down and tells us a story.
