Let’s Play Music ®

I have had two children in the program and both times I have been amazed! They not only learn the basics of music, but I have seen their basic confidence in themselves grow. The games, activities, etc. allow them to interact with the teacher and the other children in a fun and non-threatening way which builds self confidence as well as musical knowledge. We love it!

I have experienced the magic of Let’s Play Music first hand with my youngest son. We had such a great experience, and it has formed the best foundation for my son’s love for music, not to mention his academic success. I have been amazed at the amount of learning that is present in every class period. Let’s Play Music packs musical learning disguised as play into every minute.

We stumbled across Let’s Play Music four years ago. We had no idea the impact it would have in our lives. Our daughter began the program as a quiet, shy girl that lacked confidence. After completing the three year program she has become a confident, happy and very musically talented little girl I could hardly believe that my little seven year old could compose, memorize and perform a song in front of hundreds of people. This program is far and above any other musical program I’ve ever seen. I can’t imagine our lives without it!

As a music educator myself, I find the principles and practices taught are necessary for musical growth as well as fun – super fun! I am extremely impressed with the techniques used in the teaching style. My girls actually love to practice the piano and they love learning theory. What other program could offer that extra benefit?

The attention span of a four year old is very minimal. Because everything is hands on-voices on, she is consistently involved. I feel that Brooke is learning music skills that will last her a lifetime. She is learning skills while having a fabulous time!

Let’s Play Music is a highlight of our busy week. It adds a dimension of appreciation for music that the whole family can feel and enjoy. Its teaching is so clear and relevant to young minds.

There’s no time for boredom or distraction in Let’s Play Music as the lessons keep things moving with infectious enthusiasm and positive interaction with the children. Emma loves to sing the songs and sound them out on the piano. The songs are very age appropriate. She is learning musical concepts and she doesn’t even realize it!

Let’s Play Music is the most phenomenal music training program I have ever seen! I can’t say enough good about the program!!! I love that I get to go to lessons with my children! Even though I had music lessons all my life, I am amazed with all I learn every time I go! And we have so much fun the kids don’t even realize they’re learning!

We were sitting in the car listening to the classical station and from the back of the car Cristian said, "Mom, this part is just like the beginning of the song, only its minor and sad now!" I was thrilled that his exposure to classical music in Let’s Play Music had made him aware of the different themes. We all listen to music a little differently now!

Testimonials from Professionals in the Field of Music Education

The Let’s Play Music program prepares the musical palette in young children so that they have the necessary skills to excel in private music instruction. There is no substitute for a solid foundation in early music study. I have witnessed its value in every young piano student who graduates from this program.

Let’s Play Music teaches that music is fun by introducing music as a total experience, and then teaches the musical symbolization of that experience. It includes the best concepts from Dalcroze, Orff, Kodaly and others. The concepts used to teach the student beat, rhythm and note value are incredible. They are so fun, the learner will never forget!

Let’s Play Music has its strongest roots in the Kodaly philosophies, which have been proven as the best comprehensive training in rhythm, solfege, sight-singing, listening, writing, performing, and creating. This program also has a strong focus on aural and visual memory perceptions. I am currently researching music education and learning how the state’s most successful music programs are developed. In my opinion, Let’s Play Music gives a child the best foundation for success in every musical way.
