Kelly's Music Corner, LLC.  

Owner & Licensed Maestro Kindermusik Educator

Kelly Esposito-Broelmann ("Miss Kelly") has been a licensed Kindermusik Educator since 2008.  Kelly was born and raised in Middletown, NY and is thrilled to fulfill her dream of owning and operating a music school right here in her hometown.  A trained classical singer with a Bachelor of Music from Westminster Choir College and a Master of Music from Mason Gross School of the Arts at Rutgers University, Kelly has performed both nationally and internationally as a recitalist and opera singer.  After the birth of her son in 2007, Kelly started coursework to become a Kindermusik Educator.  Proud to be a business owner and licensed educator, Kindermusik has been the absolute perfect blend of Kelly's love of music, teaching and children.  Starting out small back in 2008 allowed Kelly to focus on being a new mom to her beautiful baby boy.  With the Kindermusik classes growing every year, Kelly soon outgrew her cozy studio.  In March of 2015, Kelly expanded into what is now an almost 2,000 square foot space allowing her Kindermusik classes to increase in size and allowing for the addition of three music lesson rooms. In January of 2022, Kelly expanded for a second time allowing for two more music lesson rooms and a large, separate room perfect for hosting birthday parties (and a variety of other things...including meetings and group classes)! In addition to teaching all of the Kindermusik classes at Kelly's Music Corner, Kelly also teaches a group voice class for young singers ages 7-10!  Miss Kelly was thrilled to be named a Kindermusik Maestro Educator by Kindermusik International for the ninth consecutive year in June of 2022!

Assistant/Receptionist

Hayley and her daughter were one of Miss Kelly's very first Kindermusik families back in 2008! Hayley has been a loyal Kindermusik family since then, joining classes again with her second child. Now, she has come on board the KMC team to assist in the day-to-day goings on at KMC. We are so lucky to have her here!

Kindermusik

Stephanie has always had a love for children. She began her childcare journey at the age of thirteen babysitting the children of family friends. At eighteen, she began nannying and fell in love with helping children grow, learn to explore, and navigate the world around them. She found Kindermusik and Ms. Kelly through her families that she nannies. She has nannied for over five families, twelve children in total, from the ages of newborn to seven years old. Coming into the teaching world, Stephanie is so excited to begin this next chapter with the KMC family teaching Kindermusik. She is currently working on obtaining her Kindermusik license and looks forward to teaching classes by this summer! Outside of caring for children, Stephanie is obsessed with her fur-baby Bella (a 50-pound fluffy white super mutt), spending time with her family and friends, and a passion for event planning.
