Let’s Play Music – First Year
Laying the foundation for success in any music discipline. Beginning students are ages 4-6 and will enjoy a class of their peers for their music education. We focus on ear-training, rhythm, solfege, pitch relationships, classical music themes, primary chords, and more! Parents attend every other week in the first year of the program, learning (and playing!) alongside their child and providing the support that is essential for any study of music. We learn on the tone bells while fingers are small and progress to the keyboard in the second year of the program.
Registration for Fall 2024 classes is OPEN! First year materials cost $91 and include a tone bell set, books, flashcards and tote bag and access to all the music via the Let’s Play Music app. A $20 registration/recital fee and tuition is paid directly to the teacher when classes begin. Tuition is $250 per semester for 15 lessons and can also be paid in monthly installments of $65.
