Founder & Creative Director

Hi! I’m Sydney Ward. I’m so glad you’re here!

I started Little Treblemakers with the hope of making a new kind of music school. I was tired of the stiff and stuffy approach to music lessons that seemed all too common in my youth. I knew there had to be another way!

I combined my joy for performing as a touring and recording artist with my passion for working with children and background in Montessori education to create a truly unique music school for the Atlanta community.

The most rewarding aspect of building LTM has been our relationships with the kids and parents – who ultimately help shape what this program is as we grow. We hope to make core memories for our community that support their goals and give confidence in whatever they decide to take on as they grow into young adults.

When I’m not busy planning and scheming at LTM you can find me playing music in my project Sleeper’s Club or performing with my friends in Bathe Alone.

The group includes both men and women, some wearing casual clothes, one woman with a fur hat, another with sunglasses on her head, some with glasses, and they appear to be in a cluttered backstage area with cables and equipment.
