Who We Are
Piano Lessons for Kids in Sherman Oaks and Pasadena.
“At Piano Play, we believe in personalized education for children. We have developed our very own Layered Learning Environment (LLE)® that integrates stories, body language, interactive games, singing, ear training, movement, and music theory.
The outcome? Engaging and fun music classes that assist children in understanding the basics of composition and expressive playing!”
Layered Learning Environment (LLE)®
Our mission is to provide holistic, age-specific music education that enriches the lives of our students and their families. Through our unique “Layered Learning Environment” (LLE)®, we aim to make learning music a delightful journey of exploration and growth.
We are dedicated to empowering each student to reach their full potential, instilling in them a deep appreciation for music, and equipping them with the skills and passion to continue their musical journey for a lifetime in:
- Ear training
- Music theory
- Note reading
- Expressive singing
- Rhythm understanding
- Keyboard playing
- Academic preparation
Our music courses cater to a wide age range, from group classes for children as young as 19 months to private lessons for those seven and older. Each group program spans approximately three semesters and involves both students and their parents in the immersive process of reading, playing by ear, and writing music.
For older beginners and adults seeking private instruction, we offer highly experienced instructors with extensive musical knowledge and a strong passion for teaching. These dedicated instructors, who have been part of our team since 1987, bring a wealth of expertise and a long-standing commitment to creating a warm, encouraging, and stimulating environment for learning.
Outstanding Piano Instructors
Our piano instructors are trained intensively in the Piano Play system for four to six months. This program is hands-on training in the classroom with another master instructor. Our esteemed instructors hold at least two-three years of college-level courses in music theory or performance, Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Music.
