“The world speaks many languages. But music speaks to them all.”
Designed from the ground up by Krissy — a seasoned music educator with over 25 years of experience — this program is unlike anything else out there. Combining the universal language of music with a joyful, immersive approach to English, Krissy has created a one-of-a-kind adventure that’s teaching children across the globe to listen, sing, speak, and shine.
Inspired by the timeless music of the Beatles, students from South America, Europe, and Asia have joined Krissy and Lola aboard this magical musical journey.
This is more than a language class. It’s connection. Confidence. Rhythm. Joy.
And it works.
✨ This unique program has limited space and is currently waitlist only.
“Krissy has been teaching my son Tommaso from Milan for several years, and I couldn’t be happier. She brings both skill and enthusiasm to every lesson, combining grammar and language learning with creative themes like music and technology. Thanks to her, Tommaso is now a big Beatles fan , and he’s even built amazing Minecraft playgrounds during their lessons!
Krissy is more than a fantastic teacher , she’s caring, attentive, and truly in sync with my son. She feels like part of our family.”
— Stefania, mom of 10-year-old Tommaso (Milan, Italy)
