About the Studio

Kids at Kindermusik Class at Joyful Creations Studio in New Haven, IN

Our Why

Joyful Musicians was founded in 2018 by Jill Hockemeyer in order to bring joy to young children and their families by offering Kindermusik classes. Since that time, we have seen the positive impact and effects of not only providing Kindermusik classes to young children but offering support to the caregivers of those young children. This is how the idea for Joyful Creations Studio came to be.

At Joyful Creations Studio, we believe that the learning process is more important than performance. Our team is committed to making sure your kids express their creativity and have fun when they are attending our classes and lessons. We create experiences that help them establish their self-confidence and develop social-emotional skills.

What is Kindermusik?

Kindermusik is a research-based music and movement curriculum. Not only does it give your kid’s brain a complete workout, it builds confidence at every stage.

“The variety of music activities kept my grandson engaged. He enjoyed using different musical instruments, using movement, and singing new songs.”

– Doug

“Our daughter has been attending Kindermusik classes at Joyful Creations Studio for about 9 months and we have loved every single class! Miss Jill brings a ton of enthusiasm, passion and personal relationship to each class! From extra books for the students to look at before class, to an activity themed to the unit, and a physical story book to go with each unit, we are more than pleased with the value of Kindermusik with Joyful Creations Studio. Our 2 yr old walks around singing songs from class and looks forward to seeing her music friends each week!”
