Weekly Lessons

Regular one-on-one lessons with a skilled instructor are the foundation upon which a successful music education is built.

“We invite you to join us—and see the magic of music unfold in your child’s life.”

Lessons That Grow With Them

Our weekly lessons are the heart of Child Play Music School—designed to build real skills in a fun, supportive environment. Whether your child is just starting out or ready to play with others, we offer private lessons for focused growth, group lessons for shared learning, and band rehearsals for collaborative, real-world experience.

Private Lessons

Regular one-on-one lessons with a skilled instructor are the foundation upon which a successful music education is built. Through the ages, music has been handed down from teacher to pupil via one-on-one lessons. Child Play Music offers guitar, piano, and percussion lessons. Private lessons meet once a week, 3-4 times a month for a total of 42 lessons a year.

Group Lessons

Regular group lessons accommodate the student’s expanding social needs and develop ensemble skills. Some skills are learned better in groups. The Child Play Music student not only learns solo playing skills, but ensemble skills as well. In our small group classes, students get training in many secondary instruments. Group lessons meet once a week, 3-4 times a month for a total of 42 lessons a year.

Band Rehearsals

Once students are ready, they are invited to join a band with other students, developing performance skills, teamwork, and stage presence. As students become proficient on a few secondary instruments in addition to their primary instrument we form performance groups. At this point, weekly band rehearsals replace weekly group lessons so your child can experience the joy of making music as a band.

Real Music Skills Without the Pressure

We’d love to welcome your child into one of our joyful, play-based music classes. Consultations are free for new families—no pressure, just music and fun.

Parent Testimonials

"We have participated in group and private lessons with Joel and he is excellent with children! Joel is an amazing musician and has a unique ability to inspire the love of music... His teaching technique allows kids to quickly grasp and accomplish lesson material. He keeps the lesson light hearted and fun while constantly encouraging his students to move beyond their comfort level. Joel will not disappoint!"

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!"
