Preschool Piano & Music Foundation Classes
Hands-on, movement-rich classes that introduce young musicians to the piano in small, carefully matched groups.
Intro to Piano: Small-Group Classes for Ages 3–6
Hello!These group classes introduce children in Pre-K and Kindergarten to the piano in collaborative classes which lay the foundation for successful piano study. Through rote playing, improvisation, and follow-the-leader pieces as well as movement, singing and rhythm patterns, children will learn the layout of the keyboard, diatonic note letter names, and correct piano technique, while continuing and strengthening their music development. These classes are structured for 3-4 students. Families are provided with a detailed practice outline making at-home practice easy.
Class Tracks
Ages 3–4: Musical Explorations (Early Beginner)
A playful, movement-rich introduction designed for very young learners.
Instruction focuses on:
Listening and aural awareness
Movement and body coordination
Keyboard geography (high/low, black and white keys, patterns of 2 and 3)
Pattern recognition and imitation skills
Short, focused activities that build early musicianship
Progress is measured through exploration, confidence, and growing musical awareness—not speed or technical mastery.

A more structured class that prepares students for private lessons.
Students in this track will:
Learn healthy beginning technique
Build rhythm skills and note-name fluency
Strengthen finger coordination and independence
Learn short pieces through rote, reading readiness, and improvisation
Develop the foundational skills needed to transition into private study

“I enrolled my 2.5-year-old daughter in Kaitlyn’s preschool class and was so happy to see her learning piano basics — black and white keys, high and low, slow and fast — as well as awareness of each of her fingers, with the clever use of some very cute finger puppets! She is comfortable now sitting at the piano and is eager to learn more. I’m excited to have Kaitlyn continue being her piano teacher for years to come.”

"Kaitlyn is an incredible piano teacher! She has been teaching both my kids since they were each 6 years old, and they love their piano lessons! My kids have very different personalities and learning styles and she adapts her teaching to meet each of their needs perfectly. Kaitlyn is exceptionally patient, offers creative games and challenges to help engage young kids, and is always flexible when scheduling conflicts arise. I always recommend her to anyone who is looking for a piano teacher!"
