In the News...

Found this fun article about the growth of the Let's Play Music Program in Utah. My sister is now teaching there. If you have family or friends in other parts of the country, there probably is--or will be soon--a teacher nearby.  The program is growing exponentially, so tell them to keep checking the Teacher Locator on the corporate website.

Parent Orientations

Please plan to attend the appropriate parent orientation meeting. These meetings are essential to help you understand what you can do to get the most out of this program for your child, and an opportunity for you to have all of your questions answered. If you cannot attend, please let me know asap. There will be some alternative paperwork to complete, if this is the case. Parents only, please for this meeting.

3rd Year Orientation: Tuesday, August 16 @ 6:00pm
2nd Year Orientation: Tuesday, August 16 @ 7:00pm

Prepare to be Amazed! Composition Contest Video

Ever wonder where we are headed in our Let's Play Music program? Composing our own pieces will be the culmination of the 3 year program. Take a look at these winners playing their original pieces from last years' composition competition! Really amazing and exciting!

Let's Play Music is Growing in Laveen!

I have an exciting announcement! 

Starting in the Fall, there will be two "Let's Play Music" teachers here in the Laveen area! I am thrilled that more students in the area will have the opportunity to experience all the fun and learning that the "Let's Play Music" program has to offer! I will be teaching 2nd and 3rd year classes and will only be able to offer one 1st year class in the Fall that will be held on a weekday morning (TBD). I know that that class will not accommodate the growing interest in the program in this area and will not accommodate everyones' schedules. This is why I am thrilled that my friend, David Meadows (already an amazingly accomplished musician and piano teacher) has decided to jump on board and become a "Let's Play Music" teacher. Dave will offer classes in the afternoons/evenings. We will be working together to make sure we are providing a top-quality experience for your students. Some of you may know Dave already, as his son, Ethan is in one of my classes, and he regularly attends with him. But I'd like to take this opportunity to help you get to know him better

David has been playing the piano for over 25 years.  He started accompanying his middle school choir in 7^th grade and has accompanied hundreds of choirs and vocalists since.  He spent his first two years of college as a Piano Performance major at the University of Northern Colorado and the University of Nevada-Las Vegas.  David has also composed several works for solo piano and for choirs.  Though David did not make music his career, he has been teaching private piano lessons for 10 years and is excited to become certified to teach Let’s Play Music starting in September, 2011!

While we haven't officially started registration for the Fall (we will soon), please contact me if you would like to be on the list for my morning class, or Dave with any questions about his classes and to be on his mailing list.

"Asturias" by William Joseph on Dr. Phil

My 2nd year students, especially, might enjoy watching how fast and enthusiastically he plays! I bet he has spent lots of time practicing!

BLUE BUGS & YELLOW INDIANS classes will begin on January 12th!

Look for emails with more info (but don't come to class tomorrow!)  :-)
