Seriously Fun Music Lessons for Ages 0-7
Let's Play Music
Play is the way that children learn! Our classes teach serious music theory, piano technique, classical music, and ear training all through play!
Early exposure is the key to talent!
Chord Theory
Certified Teachers
Ear Training
Age Appropriate Methods
We teach children when they are ready to learn, in the ways that they learn best, so they become ‘talented’. Starting music lessons early on will yield a 10-year-old pianist that can play circles around a 10-year-old that started at age 8. Sight-reading, improvisation, composition, and even transposing will be second nature.

It develops musical aptitude. Your child will learn the things that cause us as adults to say that a person is musically talented. Can you teach talent? YOU BET!!! Research has shown that musical aptitude (talent) is more acquired than it is hereditary. "Musically talented" people are so, not because of genetics, but because of exposure to a musical environment at a young age.Learn More About the Let's Play Music program
