What is Let's Play Music?

 Let's Play Music is a piano and music theory course  for 4-6 years old that emphasizes total musicianship through piano playing, singing, classical music, note reading, and ear training... and it's accomplished through play! This 3 year program enables children to truly learn the language of music so that they can go on to excel in any further music study (instruments, choir, piano, etc).

My Spouse Does Not See the Benefit in Music Classes. What Can I Share with Them?

 Everyone experiences music differently. Some caregivers may have apprehensions toward music class simply because they had a bad experience with a music teacher growing up, because they grew up with a focus on some other academic or sport, or because they don't realize how powerful music can be in forming a child.  

 While every family's journey will look different, and LPM is not for everyone, here are a few things to consider... 

 Music influences people on a daily basis. It helps us regulate and understand our moods, emotions, and feelings. Music connects us with other people and life experiences.  

 Many studies have shown that music has a positive effect in other academic areas like mathematics, and can improve coordination & execution in sports.  

 Music is a discipline. It teaches many purposeful skills- how to work diligently, the need for consistency to progress, patience, delayed gratification. We have to learn how to work! it teaches us how to listen critically, how to analyze ourselves, how to describe what we are experiencing, make changes to improve, perform in front of people, improvise, create and be creative. All of these are important life skill in working with others! 


What Are Parents Saying?  

Sound Beginnings

Both of my kids-- ages 3 and 1-- absolutely love Sound Beginnings with Ms Estelle! She is a wonderful teacher, and they've both learned so much. It's been such a fun way to start their music education! - Kerry 

My son started Sound Beginnings with Estelle after he turned 1 year old and was not saying any words. He absorbs so much from her and she is so patient with him, as he is a reluctant participant some days. As his parent, I see him doing things that is done in class at home outside of class--so he is obviously internalizing what he experiences! His language has exploded in the last 3-4 months and I attribute some of that growth to his time at Sound Beginnings! Melanie

Each week the kids are learning new letters, shapes, sounds, songs and making new friends. My little loves get so excited about this class and all the practice between classes! I would recommend any parent/grandparent/guardians to do this class with their children! I have as much fun as the kiddos do! Kelly

My daughter absolutely loves this class and is constantly asking when we get to go back to "music school". It's the perfect amount of fun and structure for her, and I'm impressed by how much she has learned. Shannon


Let's Play Music


My daughter loves her music class with Mrs. Estelle and I am amazed at what she is learning and retaining at only 5 years old (I might add that I have learned a few things myself which I have enjoyed). Mrs. Estelle makes learning fun, has amazing patience with busy little kiddos during class, and goes out of her way to get to know each child and family in her classes. She truly cares for each child and that they are learning. I highly recommend any of her classes, especially if you want to give your child a jump start on having a love for music! Rachel

Estelle is an enthusiastic and fun teacher!  She makes the classes interactive and engaging for all students.  She is excellent at accommodating to meet the needs of my child during the learning process.  I highly recommend Let’s Play Music because my son has enjoyed learning so much during his first year of music! Erica

Had a great time. Comprehensive instruction and fun!!! Denise 

Such an amazing program for young kids! MaryAnn
