How Shake ‘N Make Music Came to Be
Miss Heather has always loved performing and singing as well as working with children. After becoming a mother, Miss Heather was always on the lookout for opportunities to broaden her son’s horizons. Miss Heather became active in several Mommy groups and began hosting monthly music classes in her home. After a suggestion from another mom, Miss Heather realized that she had something special and went for it. Thus, Shake ‘N Make Music was born.
