Order now and your envelope includes a promo code for $9.50 off your first month — if you join, the sample costs you nothing.

What Shows Up in Your Mailbox

One envelope, addressed to your child by name. Written for ages 0 to 6+ — every volume is made to work across that whole range, so there is nothing to pick.

An eight-page zine

Lyrics, a few activities you can do at home, and Ms. Chelsea’s notes on what each song is quietly teaching.

Seven songs

Recorded live by Ms. Chelsea, some of them her own — something to move to, something to play along with, and one for winding down.

A card with a QR code

Scan it and the seven songs download to your phone, your tablet, or wherever you play music at home.

A peek at what comes monthly

The sample is the zine and seven songs. A monthly envelope also brings the CD with the full set of about fourteen tracks, plus crafts, stickers, postcards, original art and other little surprises to open together. That is what a membership adds.

A note from

Ms. Chelsea

I started Mailbox Melodies because I wanted the music from my classes to keep going after class ended. If you are not sure whether it is right for your family, I would so much rather you try one than take my word for it.

Early Childhood Music Educator

★★★★★

“My kids are obsessed — I’ve been listening to your voice every day in my living room.”

Is this a subscription?

No. It is a one-time $9.50 order. Nothing renews, and nothing starts automatically afterwards.

  • A brand new theme every month
  • About fourteen themed tracks instead of seven
  • A real CD as well as the digital download
  • Works with Yoto and Toniebox players
  • The full zine, with more to read and do
  • Crafts, stickers, postcards and original art
  • A letter from Ms. Chelsea
  • More little surprises to open together
  • Plus membership perks
  • A free monthly live music class with Ms. Chelsea — online from anywhere (first class is October 17)

Memberships are $19 a month, ship on the 15th, include shipping, and you can cancel anytime.

Does the sample come with a CD?

It does not. The sample is the zine plus a download of seven songs. The CD comes with a membership, along with everything else that arrives each month.

Who is Ms. Chelsea?

Before starting Mailbox Melodies, Chelsea created Grape Jammers Music, a music education business in Napa, California, where she still teaches toddler music classes today. She has also taught preschool, is classically trained in voice, and has over 30 years of stage experience — including professional performances at Disneyland and SeaWorld. These days she writes and records the songs, draws the zines, and packs every envelope herself, and tries it all out on her own two little ones for inspiration.

Because she still teaches every week, every song is road-tested on a real room of that exact age before it ever ships.

What ages is it for?

Ages 0 to 6+. Every volume is written to work across that whole range, which is why there is no age version to choose.

When does it ship?

We send samples out in batches on the 1st and the 15th of each month, so yours goes out on whichever of those comes first after you order.

How do I use the $9.50 credit?

A little card comes in the envelope with a promo code printed on it. When you are ready to join, enter that code at checkout and $9.50 comes off your first payment. It works on a monthly membership or on any of the 3, 6 and 12-month bundles.

How long do I have to use the $9.50 credit?

As long as you like. There is no expiry date on it.

Do you ship the sample outside the US?

Not yet — the sample is US addresses only for now.

One envelope. $9.50. See what happens.

If your little one loves it, the code on the card inside takes $9.50 off your first month.
