Our Programs

At Child Play Music, we offer a comprehensive, joyful musical experience designed to grow with your child. From playful group lessons to high-energy jam sessions and supportive private instruction, our classes help students develop real musical skills, confidence, and creativity.

Private Lessons Tailored To You

Our standard beginner private lessons are perfect for students who are just starting their musical journey. Whether your child chooses guitar or piano, they’ll receive patient, step-by-step instruction that builds confidence and skill from the ground up.

Not sure which instrument to start with? We’ll help you choose based on your child’s interests, learning style, and musical goals—so they stay engaged, excited, and motivated to grow.

Beyond Private Lessons

Child Play Music School’s complete music education goes far beyond the regular private lessons to include Group Lessons, Jam Sessions, Band Rehearsals, and more.

Group Lessons

In addition to private lessons, students get training on secondary instruments: percussion, melodica, ukulele, and bass. They’ll build strong foundations in rhythm, melody, and technique—with engaging activities, performance opportunities, and supportive feedback from expert instructors.

Jam Sessions

Jam sessions are a fun, collaborative way for students to apply what they’ve learned in lessons. In a relaxed group setting, they’ll take turns soloing, comping, and keeping rhythm—learning how to listen, lead, and support each other musically. It’s real-world experience that builds confidence and musical connection.

Band Rehearsals

Band rehearsals take jam sessions to the next level. Students work together to arrange and polish full songs, rotating instruments and roles as they go. It’s an exciting, hands-on way to develop performance skills, teamwork, and stage presence—while experiencing the joy of making music as a band.

Specialty Camps

Throughout the year—especially during summer and school breaks—we host themed camps like Boot Camp, Theory Camp, Melodica Camp, and Percussion Camp. These immersive programs are ideal for students eager to expand their musical toolkit, boost confidence, and connect with peers in a fun, meaningful setting.

Why Choose Child Play Music?

We know that early childhood is a magical (and fast-moving) season. That’s why we’ve designed every class for long-term success. Whether your child is wiggling, tapping, humming, or dancing—we welcome them exactly as they are.

Immediate Music Success

Our proprietary teaching method ensures young students are able to start playing music quickly and successfully.

Growth Opportunities

When the student is ready, we provide invitations to Jam Sessions, Performance Groups, and Real Live Gigs.

Well-Rounded Instruction

Our holistic process teaches students to sing as they learn and includes learning their choice of a secondary instrument.

Parental Involvement

Parents are encouraged to attend lessons and support practice at home with helpful emails, handouts, and videos.

Gifts to Save Memories

Your child’s songs are recorded onto albums and performances are filmed, which make great souvenirs, and gifts.

Recitals are Voluntary

All students are encouraged to participate, but we never force them. Music should be fun, never stressful.

Recitals and Performances

Performance is at the heart of musical growth. That’s why we host regular student showcases, informal jam nights, and end-of-camp performances. These events allow students to shine, support each other, and build the stage presence that comes from playing in front of an audience.

Julie Rich

"Finding Joel was a trifecta! He is great with kids. He is a gifted musician. He is a master teacher. Under Joel's guidance, our grandson has learned guitar technique while developing a real love for music and dedication to his practice, and he has loved every minute of it. Joel truly does make learning music seem easy."

Dianne Johnson

"Very rarely do you get to meet a guitarist as talented and inspiring as Joel but it is also a once in a lifetime when you find one who is just as good a teacher. Always motivational Joel never let me leave a lesson feeling like I havdn't accomplished something. I noticed immediate progress and felt myself extremely fortunate to meet such an awesome teacher. Thank you Joel for giving me the skills that will allow me to reach my dreams and beyond. Peace!"
