• Ages: 0–12 years old
• Schedule: Open Monday–Thursday 9am–4pm and Friday 9am–3pm MST
Let’s Play Music offers a family class for ages 0–4 with a caregiver, a flagship foundational music and piano class for children ages 4–6, and an accelerated piano class for beginners ages 7–12. The program describes its lessons as “seriously fun music lessons” and states that it teaches serious music theory, piano technique, classical music, ear training, chord theory, classical music study, composition, and sight-singing through play. It states that early exposure is the key to talent, that a child’s auditory processing system is ripe for music from ages 0–9 (called the “Music Learning Window”), and that science has shown learning music uses the same brain function as learning a language. The program describes itself as a company that builds, teaches, inspires, and enriches, with programs for developing the total musician, and states that play is the way that children learn.
Let’s Play Music’s mission is “to enrich lives through the power of music.” The curriculum is nationally adopted and used by over 400 certified teachers. The program notes that there are now over 450 teachers and 13,000 students across the United States and Canada using the Let’s Play Music method.
Let’s Play Music was started in 1998 and is based in Mesa, Arizona. Over the past 25+ years, founder Shelle Soelberg has developed and refined the Let’s Play Music programs. Shelle Soelberg holds a Bachelor of Science in Music Education from Brigham Young University and a Master of Music in Music Teaching and Learning from Arizona State University, and she is currently pursuing a PhD in Music at Arizona State University. She is Kodály-certified at Levels I, II, and III and serves on the Arizona Kodály Teachers Association board.
The leadership team includes founder and creator of Let’s Play Music, Shelle Soelberg, who works together with her husband Dave. Staff members include Julie Fischbeck, Jenny Smith, Symone Lund, Kendyll Maughan, Marnie Christensen, Darren Nicoll, Janalee Marriott, Heidi Priday, and Amber Uchytil.
