This fun new curriculum is specially designed for ages 2-4 and their parents.  By providing a solid music and preschool foundation, Sound Beginnings prepares students for success in Let's Play Music & Kindergarten! The Curriculum is organized into 4 non-sequential semesters, each lasting four months, each providing experience with important music concepts and skills through different songs & games. Classes include singing, movement, games, stories and activities, focusing on different concepts each semester.

rhythm, pitch, harmony, form, dynamics and tone color.

Semester 1

Semester 2


{After these 2 semesters If children are then old enough and ready to begin Year one of "Let's play music" they may. If they are still under the age of 4 they could continue on with the next semesters of "Sound Beginnings,"  Gold Stars & Black Spiders where Specific concepts and skills taught include in-tune singing, beat, fast/slow, them and form counting, primary colors, name-recognition, and much more!}

Children learn most effectively when they are
playing! If you were to peek in on a Sound
Beginnings class, you would see jumping,
singing, skipping, storytelling, and laughing!
Music educators have long taught that the
young child learns best through play, experience
and discovery. As musical concepts and skills
are explored in a playful, joyful setting, children
absorb knowledge and ability. 
This amazing learning atmosphere continues on through all Let's Play Music classes.


“{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.”
