Welcome to the jazz club!
Classes - Concerts - Events
Jazz Baby music class is a multi-sensory experience designed to enhance motor, social, and spatial skills through music and play. Class incorporates jazz standards, popular music, and classic children's songs to invite exploration of rhythm, sound, and dynamics. Class is interactive, joyful ,and spontaneous. Part band practice- part social club, class promotes bonding and community for all.
Jazz Baby Infant class will focus on gentle movement, paired with music and songs to stimulate baby’s senses. The suggested age is 0-6 months and is recommended for little ones who are still enjoying tummy time and are not crawling yet. This is also a great way for new moms to connect with each other!

What People Are Saying
“It’s no surprise that our little 16 month old constantly asks to sing the songs she has heard Mariella sing. Her music class is so engaging, fun, and something we all look forward to every week!”
— Alma, Gillian, Gandharv
“Ridgewood is lucky to have Jazz Baby! When I was home with my newborn I was desperate to find a space to meet other new parents and engage with my baby and when I posted on a parent group Mariella immediately offered to start up a newborn Jazz Baby. I love going to not only meet other parents and get out of the house but also to learn fun new songs that I can sing with my baby at home. 100% recommend Jazz Baby for any new parents!”
— Michelle Costa
“Mariella, I can't thank you enough for making yesterday afternoon so magical. I don't need to tell you how much all the kids enjoyed it, because it was so clear from their joyful reactions, but I just want to underscore how thrilled we were. You're so talented and so great at engaging the kids.”
— Irin Carmon
“Thank you so much Mariella. It was wonderful and so much fun for all of us. You are the best!”
— Hanna and Max

“Jazz Baby has been a beacon of light for us during these extremely trying times and a wonderful outlet for our family to reconnect with some of life’s most fundamental joys: music, dance and laughter. We have been frequenting Mariella’s class since The Before. It was our daughter’s first group play experience and remains the most reliable and consistent even throughout the duration of the pandemic, when we had a second child and felt increasingly isolated. Jazz Baby has provided a community for us and we are forever grateful for Mariella: her spirit, music and goofiness and ability to keep us uplifted.”
— Melissa Neil

“Mariella and her Jazz baby class are an absolute joy for kids and parents. I started bringing my son when he was a very shy, serious 8 month old and at 23 months, it is his absolute favorite part of the week. Mariella is warm, engaging, and as my son says, "so silly!" She has truly helped him come out of his shell, and now he loves singing and dancing along in class. As a parent, I love listening to Mariella play some jazz classics along with baby hits. She has really instilled a love of music in my son, and her class has been such a wonderful bonding time for us. I can't say enough good things! Thank you Mariella for sharing your talent and time with us.”

“Our baby (now toddler) started going to jazz baby when he was about 3-4 months old. at that time, it was an amazing space for a new parents in a new neighborhood to connect with other parents and a great reason to leave the house with a newborn. He loved listening to the music and watching all of the other babies. Now that he’s a toddler, he loves to play and dance along. He knows all of the songs (“zoom zoom” is a particular favorite in our home). Mariella creates a warm, welcoming, and super fun environment for both kids and adults. She remembers every kid’s name, facilitates fun activities, and is just such a sweet person. plus she can sing and play music beautifully!”
— Natasha, Cole, and Noah
