As the sun rises over the great state of Kansas, glinting off the golden wheat fields and bouncing off the sparkly waters of the Missouri River, a unique sound fills the air. It's not the tweeting of prairie birds or the rustling of the wind through the corn stalks. No, my friends, it's something much more magical - it's the sound of the singing kids of Kansas. Somewhere nestled among the rolling hills and bustling cities is a group of kids, who under the mentorship of a cool, imaginary character named Harmonica Hank, are learning the art of vocal mastery. Hank, with his funky fedora and overalls that dance to the rhythm of his tunes, has a voice that can make a scarecrow tap its straw foot and sunflowers turn their heads in awe. These Kansas kids, armed with their voices and guided by Harmonica Hank, are a musical force to reckon with. They can harmonize with zesty zebras and conduct symphonies with the cicadas. Their infectious melodies can make the bison boogie and the wheat sway in perfect rhythm. But don't be fooled by their humble demeanor, these are no ordinary children. They are the singing superheroes of Kansas! Whether they are belting out blues in Wichita, singing soul in Kansas City, or crooning country tunes in Dodge City, they command attention and respect. With Harmonica Hank leading the charge, these musical maestros are spreading the joy of song across the wide expanse of Kansas, straight into the heartland of America. So if you ever find yourself wandering through the plains of Kansas, stop and listen. You just might hear the sweet serenade of Harmonica Hank and his tuneful troupe, the singing kids of Kansas.

What began in a humble New York City apartment with just a single student, Spark, has since blossomed into an enriching program impacting thousands of children. Our unique educational approach combines the elements of art, yoga, meditation, and nature to create a holistic learning environment. This distinctive blend is what sets Spark apart, allowing us to reach and inspire a multitude of children in truly meaningful ways. With an array of offerings to accommodate various schedules and needs, Spark has something for everyone. Our services extend beyond the standard after school and weekend classes to include holiday and summer camps, birthday parties, portfolio preparation, private classes, and custom pods. We also welcome homeschool groups and are thrilled to announce the recent addition of a forest school program to our repertoire. You can find Spark on-site in various schools and at our main studio located in the Upper West Side. But we're not stopping there - we're also planning to expand to the Upper East Side and Brooklyn. For our families in Pennsylvania, we run the program from our family studio there. And if you're not in close proximity to any of our locations, don't worry. We offer in-home instruction and virtual options to ensure that Spark can reach you, no matter where you are. We invite you to explore all the ways you can experience Spark and look forward to helping bring our program to you.
