What Parents Are Saying About Sound Beginnings
Sound Beginnings has exceeded my expectations. It packs so much into each half hour class with an understanding of what it takes to keep preschoolers engaged and interested in musical activities. I am convinced that Sound Beginnings and Let’s Play Music will lead my two young children to musical success.

I love the Sound Beginnings class for toddlers because it provides a fun, structured environment for my children to discover and learn music. The lessons are active and playful and involve singing, movement/dancing, musical stories, listening, puppet play, and much more. We have so much fun at the lessons, but best of all, we can continue having fun making music at home because we attend together.

Musical Talent Starts Here
Let’s Play Music is a fun foundational music theory class for your child that begins at age 4 - 6. This three-year program solves the problem that a child is most ready to learn music at an early age, but their fingers and letter skills are not yet ready.

Let's Play Music Teaches Total Musicianship
Throughout the Let's Play Music program, solfege, chord recognition, and sight reading are strategically taught through games and play. Learn more about each semester below.
First Year
Keyboard Prep
The first year, we use engaging games and songs using our Tone Bells to teach staff reading and rhythm reading skills. Our harmony instrument is the autoharp, which each student will independently play to produce harmony and accompany the class.
Second Year
Introduction to Keyboard
In the second year, we transfer these skills to playing the piano where we also learn chord notation, intervals, and harmonic improvisation.
Third Year
Piano Skills
By the end of the third year, students are playing piano with proper form, transposing, composing their own music, and are prepared to excel in further music instruction.We Struck a Chord!
What Parents Are Saying About Let's Play Music
I had heard great things about the program and decided to enroll my youngest. Oh, how I wish my older kids had had this program! He has learned SO much. As we are finishing up his 3rd year, I can honestly say I had no idea how much he would learn and be able to do! What a wonderful experience it has been!

I love Let's Play Music! It turned my monotone singing son into a now 12-year-old who has sung solos and loves to sing in choirs! As a music teacher, I am amazed at the wonderful musical foundation that Let's Play Music gives its students. It is so fun and yet so comprehensive!
