About Me
What parents are saying:
"The Let's Play Music program is a fantastic way to get your child started in music. I have had 3 children in the program and each of them have excelled musically inside and outside of the class.The transition into piano lessons have been smooth and easy and the piano teacher feels that because of the training they received from LPM they have been her easiest students. My children now have a love and understanding of music they didn't have before because of how much fun and education they got from the LPM classes. It has helped them focus on their school work more effectively and their appreciation of different styles of music has helped them in their life. I can't say enough great things about the program, I would recommend it to anyone with children whether or not they are musically inclined or come from a musical background. There is so much value in what is taught for music and for life!
Having had 3 children in the LPM program I have also had the opportunity of having 3 different teachers. Ms. Lily has been the most fun and most engaging teacher! Her ability to connect with each child and make them feel special and important goes beyond the class and into their lives. My son still talks about Ms. Lily and how much he loves her as a teacher. I will be forever grateful for all she has done for my child both in the class and out. Thank you LPM and thank you Ms. Lily!!!"

"Ability! It never ceases to amaze me how much my boys are learning in Let's Play Music. Besides the fact that we have such a wonderful teacher, I was impressed to see that some of the concepts that my third level boys were learning was the same as what my teenage boys are just learning in their piano books. The younger ones are going to be so much better prepared for their piano future because of the Let's Play Music program. We love it!!!!"
