Preschool and Kindergarten
Music lessons
Preschool and Kindergarten students love to make music!
Studies show that music is beneficial to children’s development, and exploring music thru singing, instruments and movement is an exciting and fun way to learn!
The Preschool and Kindergarten offerings are designed to introduce music, not only in a way that is beneficial to a child’s development, but also to be an investment and firm foundation towards future instrument-focused music study.
Because I feel it is so important to expose children to our nation’s folk music, curriculum for the Preschool and Kindergarten classes use repertoire of traditional and folk literature. This curriculum is based on extensive survey and research related to the development of singing and movement skills in young children, as well as developing those important neurological connections that are enhanced by music study.
As classes are in my home, space limitations are such that there is only room for students to attend (no caregivers, friends, or siblings, please.) Instead, enjoy using this time to run a quick errand, or visit the library or park down the street!

Piano Lessons for Preschool and Kindergarten Students
The WunderKeys piano curriculum is used to teach keyboard skills, specifically developed for children in this age range. It uses a colorful, story-based approach that is filled with age-appropriate learning opportunities.
WunderKeys lessons are exciting and varied with on and off the piano bench activities that explore musical concepts, includes duets, game-based learning, and using hands-on methods to reinforce early music concepts.
As students progress, we continue incorporating fun activities for comprehensive instruction that introduces students to the piano as they learn proper technique, music theory and ear training skills, as well as begin to read music.
