Kindermusik® with Betsy Gurske is the premier program for early childhood music in the Charlotte area. Not only does Betsy have vast experience, knowledge and expertise teaching music to children, but she is kind, patient and passionate about working with them.
With her husband, John (an amazing guitar instructor) the Gurskes have created a special music school for all ages with a caring atmosphere. For years, they have been giving their time and talents working with children who have special needs, and have expanded to include Kindermusik’s early literacy program to Title 1 pre-K children in the Charlotte Mecklenburg school district.
Both of my children took lessons at music.4.life from preschool through middle school, including Kindermusik, piano, guitar and jam band, which gave them a firm musical foundation and developed their musicianship. I am forever grateful to the Gurskes and music4life for the marvelous experiences we had with them.
At first I was hesitant to make time to take my baby to a music class; I thought "I can play music for my baby at home, why do I need a class for it?" But after the first class, I was hooked! This class is SO much more than just singing and dancing! Every thing you do during class has a purpose and encourages growth and development, so much more than I could do by myself at home. Ms. Betsy is incredibly knowledgeable and explains why each song/dance/activity is important, and what part of the baby's development we are working on and why. I thought I was signing up for this class for my baby, and didn't realize at the time how much I would benefit from it myself. Especially early on (we started going when my baby was 8 weeks old), I really appreciated the socialization with other moms. There is always some time at the beginning and end of class to talk, share stories, ask questions, etc. I feel connected to the other moms (and dads) in this class and have definitely made some good friends. There is never any pressure during the class, and Ms. Betsy and the other parents are always very accepting. If your baby needs to crawl around while everyone else is standing and dancing, that is ok. If you need to feed your baby while everyone else is singing, that is ok. It's a very easy, comfortable environment to be in. Every week, both my daughter and I look forward to seeing Ms. Betsy and all of our friends at music! I totally recommend!!
My teenager is in two Jam Bands with Music 4 Life. It's a fantastic program! John really listens to the kids' preferences and ideas, and my son has learned a lot and grown as a musician in the year he's been involved. I also like that it's more affordable and down-to-earth than some of the similar group/performance-oriented music programs in the area. Highly recommended.
This is by far a recommendation for any parent looking to get their child acclimated to the wonders of music and sounds. My son has been going to this class for just about one yr and eight month just shy of 2 yrs and he has developed tremendously. Being a Dad I've always had my reservations, but like I mentioned this class has changed me and our son. This class also let you as a parent develop both parenting skills as well as musical rhythm ( smile) I can't say thank you enough.

We love Music4Life! My son absolutely ADORES Ms. Betsy and looks forward to his piano lessons every week. For his first recital, he was so nervous. Music.4.life and Betsy's Kindermusik classes are fantastic! Her knowledge of music education and her joy of working with children makes for dynamic...
