Music to grow into — not out of.
Little Parade is where music, imagination, and childhood wonder come together. We offer engaging music classes, memorable family shows, and resources you can enjoy at home, creating moments your family can grow into and not out of.
We celebrate every child just as they are, honoring their curiosity, creativity, and the beautiful rhythm inside them. Our approach invites little ones to experience music with their whole bodies— listening, moving, imagining, exploring, and creating freely. Because we believe music should be something children grow into, not out of, we design every melody and moment to stretch with them as they learn and flourish.
Little Parade is a gathering place, where ever you are in the world.
Little Parade is safe place to grow through music making.
Little Parade is momentous.
Karla + Gabe
Hello!Gabe and Karla are the heart behind Little Parade—a husband-and-wife duo making music for kids and their families. Together for 10 years (married for 8), they’ve built a life around dreaming big, believing in each other, and creating with purpose.
Whether through music, classes, or events, everything they create is made with love—because they believe kids deserve the best, and so do the people raising them.
From their cozy home studio, they’ve released 15 albums filled with songs that make both children and parents smile.
You can listen to their music (here) on every streaming platform and find them in Chicago’s Hermosa neighborhood, making more beautiful things together.
Reviews
“Miss Karla is a natural. Kids love her and are instantly comfortable and engaging in her classes. I’ve seen major growth with my 1-year-old within the span of three classes that we’ve attended. The music is catchy and easy to learn. We sing the songs all week long!

“Miss Karla is wonderful! She is engaging & the bilingual aspect of the class was very helpful for my children who are not native Spanish speakers, but are in the process of learning. The songs were fun and easy to learn. We will be back!” -Parent
“I loved the attention to detail— Every song was choreographed and customized to work well on camera! Miss Karla was engaging and joyful as she sang and interacted with our daughter! It was wonderful!” -Parent
