As a parent of musicians I saw first hand the impact of great music and great music teachers in the development of the whole person. My two children grew up to play multiple instruments in different ensembles and experience the expanding world it enabled them to see. I only wish they had started earlier in life and not in elementary school. I am convinced this approach will be much better for young minds and Marcos and Shon are the greatest!”

Quality entertainment for your little ones that is enjoyable for adults too! Singing, dancing, instruments, and Spanish. Kids love Marcos and his shows!
— Ashley, mother of 4 boys
Marcos is a crowd favorite for parents and toddlers alike! The environment he creates is upbeat without being cheesy and he’s got a real knack for making even the most well-worn children’s songs engaging again (yes parents!). He scores points for nurturing a variety of different learning styles. With Marcos at the helm, grown-ups can take a few deep breaths while their little ones delight in the experience, as well as begin to teach them important life lessons like socializing and sharing, all in a supportive, positive community. I highly recommend!”

We used Rockabye Beats for our son’s birthday. This was our second time working with Marcos and Shon, and I’ve been so pleased with the communication and programming. From observing them at community events and parties, it’s clear they’re attuned to the children in front of them and respond to their developmental ability to enjoy and play music. The show Shon led was thoughtful and interactive, and the kids (ages 3 to 7) were smiling and giggling the whole time. I highly recommend Rockabye Beats for not only their skills and professionalism but also their ability to connect with children and share fun, engaging music.

Ryker loves these guys! He is drumming, riding in his car, jumping like a monkey, making pizza, acting silly, etc. He does everything Shon and Marcos do. Very interactive and entertaining. Keep it up!

Marcos is the reason my children are so in love with music. He is talented, fun, and engaging. He goes out of his way to know every child. Marcos’s high energy and song selection make every performance different and exciting. I cannot recommend a music program with him highly enough!”

We loooove Shon and Rockabye Beats and have hosted them many times for our playgroup events in Winthrop, both indoors and outdoors! Their sessions are always so engaging and I particularly love that they weave in both English and Spanish. Rockabye Beats has become a regular in our rotation of children’s music entertainment, and I would highly recommend them for any children’s or community event!

Kids of all ages love Marcos’ energy and enthusiasm! His program is a fun way to develop and foster those early connections to music. Marcos somehow finds a way to engage with the entire group, whether it’s letting a wandering toddler strum his guitar along with him, or helping a timid 6 month old shake their first shaker. Despite music being a part of our day-to-day routine, it’s Marcos’ name that is synonymous with it for the kids I care for. We’re never just going to music, we’re going to ‘music with Marcos!’”

Shon performed for my toddler’s 2nd birthday and it was such a hit! The kids were engaged the whole time and loved his energy. My toddler loves music and was bursting with joy the whole time. I highly recommend if your child loves music!
