Mandatory Price Increase for Fall of 2022
Friday, January 14, 2022 by Paige Allred | Uncategorized
Just a heads up to all my parents,
The Corporate Office at Let's Play Music is mandating a company wide tuition increase for the upcoming year beginning in Fall of 2022.
Please note the following:
1st year tuition will now be $65/month
2nd year tuition will be $75/month
3rd year tuition will be $85/month
Sound Beginnings $55/individual $65/family
Presto $100/month
Just to give you an idea of other program tuition, this is what it looks like:
Comparable Tuition Rates
• Yamaha in Utah (keyboard class 5-6 yrs.) $110/month
• Yamaha in Chicago (keyboard class 5-6 yrs.) $95/month
• MYC in Colorado (keyboard class 4 students): $71/month
• MYC in California (keyboard class 4 students): $88/month
• Kindermusik in Arizona: (45 min. class 4-5 yrs.): $92/month
• MusikGarten in Florida (45 min. class 5 yr olds): $82/month
• Online music private piano classes (30 min. lesson): $132/month
The price increase for LPM is after much research and is still high quality and value for music education.
I am looking forward to a lot of more fun classes the rest of the year and next fall!
Happy Holidays!

About My Classes
I love teaching music to young children because we target the "critical period" of the child's brain development. It's much easier for children to internalize the language of music during this time frame.
2-3 year olds: My youngest students are learning seasons, months of the year, and days of the week through rhythm and games! They are recognizing their names in print and honing in on fine motor skills.
4-6 year olds
My Red Balloon students are reading notes from the staff to play on their tone bells. They can keep a steady beat and intelligently listen to a classical music selection!
5-7 year olds
These young keyboard students can now play all the primary chords with their right hand and sing along while they do! The foundations they learned in previous years have finely tuned their ears to be able to produce harmony.
6-8 year olds
My most advanced students are in their 3rd year of instruction and are playing piano with both hands in a chorded accompaniments. They have learned about key signatures and are transposing simple melodies into various keys. They have learned all the notes names on the treble and bass clef staves. They are amazing little musicians!
