Congratulations to Milestones in Music!

It gives me great pleasure to extend congratulatory wishes to the wonderful folks over at Milestones in Music in Lansdale. Yesterday marked the one-year anniversary of the opening of their Lansdale studio AND... the day was made even more special as they announced that they are expanding (doubling!) their studio space by moving this month!

Milestones in Music has been a strong supporter of North Penn Under Ten from sponsorships of NorthPennUnderTen.com, the Summer Fun Fair, the Preschool Expo, and coming up next, the Birthday Bash & Party Expo. Owner Judy Jones and her husband Steve are also very active in supporting our local community including sponsoring the new "Family Corner" at the return of Lansdale First Friday and coordinating some of the fun activities that you'll see there. (More on that tomorrow!)

Judy Jones leads a group of children at the Summer Fun Fair.

It is wonderful to see any locally-owned business succeed in "this economy." But, when you see that success come to business owners who perpetually share that success with the community around them, it brings an even bigger joy!

Further information regarding the move and what is means for their current studio programs is below.

Within the past year, Milestones in Music has more than doubled its studio enrollment. Their early childhood music and movement classes focus on children ages 3 months through 6 years old. They offer private instrumental and vocal instruction for students ages 6 through adult, as well as Autism Movement Therapy classes and pediatric speech and language therapy. To meet the increasing demand for their programming, Milestones in Music will relocate into larger space immediately adjacent to their current location at 227 S. Broad Street. Build out of the new space is currently under way. 

The newly expanded studio, located at 229 S. Broad Street, will offer double the floor space and create three additional rooms for instruction. Once the new classrooms are available, Milestones in Music will be able to schedule side-by-side classes for older and younger children. It will also allow for the scheduling of more than one private music lesson at a time. This flexibility is especially beneficial for families with more than one child enrolled in a program. Children can participate in an Autism Movement Therapy class while their traditional learner siblings attend another class, or speech therapy. The additional space will also greatly facilitate the birthday parties they host in the studio several times each month.

The rapid growth of their business has kept Judy Jones, owner and director of Milestones in Music busy. “The pace of our growth has been much faster than we anticipated. When we moved into our studio location a year ago, we never imagined that we would outgrow the space so quickly. It is a blessing to be embraced this way by the community, especially given the current economic climate. I also feel fortunate to have the help of my husband [Steve Jones] to manage the planning and build out of our new space.” In addition to coordinating the logistics of their relocation, Steve Jones manages all marketing and new business development activities for Milestones in Music.

The Jones’ anticipate being moved into their new location by May 21st. Plans for a June 16th open house are under way. More details will be announced closer to the event date. 

Milestones in Music has been offering classes for students in the North Penn area since 2003. In addition to studio instruction, Milestones in Music provides music and movement instruction for childcare centers in the tri-county area. Both settings allow the highly qualified staff of Milestones in Music to reach over 1,500 students per week with its custom programs.
