Ume Ume Music + Arts | Brooklyn, NY

There is not better place to have a kids birthday. We’ve had my son’s birthday here two years in a row. We arrive 15 minute before with cake, everything is set up and ready to go, the staff are incredibly helpful and attentive and it’s very reasonably priced. They always do a cute art project that the kids love as well. We really love it here!

I took my baby to the baby rhythm makers class for months and he absolutely adored it! Sotiria has an amazing voice, like a real live Disney princess, and is so warm and welcoming. I love that the kiddos get exposed to different instruments too - she also plays the guitar and violin! Such a comfortable environment where the kids are free to be themselves. And a very reasonable price point compared to a lot of kids programming. I love that it’s a family run business too.

Ume Ume has such wonderful programming! My daughter and her nanny attend the drop-in music class throughout the week and absolutely love it. The teacher is so loving and kind, and the family running the business clearly cares about everything they do. The drop-in class is perfect for infants with evolving nap schedules (and very reasonably priced). My almost 1-year-old now enthusiastically dances to any music she hears! We’re looking forward to many years of classes here!

My child has been a piano student at Ume Ume for 10 years! Piano lessons with Sotiria have always been a highlight of her week. She has grown from a novice into an accomplished pianist and musician and is going to college in the fall to study music. What I love about Sotiria is that she made lessons fun and was so responsive to my daughter’s musical interests while exposing her to new styles and composers. We feel lucky to call Sotiria and Christos not just teachers but lifelong friends.

We just had our daughter’s 4th birthday here! wow! I’m so impressed! Both parents and kids had an amazing time! Sotiria was so engaged with the kids, and she made my daughter feel so special by planning activities around her, letting her hold the violin 🎻 , coloring a big “happy birthday”poster by her friends! Lots of activities: music circle time of “frozen” themed, bubble dancing party and crown 👑 decoration! While kids were busy having fun, parents were just relaxing and talking to each other having a great time too! Sotiria’s mom was so helpful, she helped set up the food, drinks, cut the cake and bring cakes to everyone then clean up! This was an amazing who communicated with me was also very easy to talk to and it is the most stress free party for the host :) Book with them, they are soooo nice and professional!
