“Mrs. Carly is such a great piano teacher! My 4-year-old daughter has learn a lot from her program. We always look forward to learning from her.”

I have purchased Busy Moms, Kids and Preschoolers. This program fits all of our needs because we can keep progressing at our own pace and in our own time. I teach my two grandsons, age 3 and 5, at every available opportunity. We share purposeful, musical play and progress at our own individual pace. We all love it and have fun! Thank you, Carly

Mary Socall

We were looking for an introductory music course for our son when we began homeschooling kindergarten.  Busy Preschoolers Do Music was a great fit for us by including play style learning approaches.  The class is a great length for active young learners and Carly is brilliant at keeping their interest while covering the important fundamentals of music theory and piano geography.  I would highly recommend her course

Julia Denny

Great for introducing musical concepts to toddlers and preschoolers. The lessons are well laid out and have a good pace. We spend 15 minutes here and there with our 2 and 4 year old doing a lesson. They love it and have grown quickly!

“SO…HOW EXACTLY DOES THIS WORK?”

 

Upon purchase, you are sent login credentials that will allow you to access this online course.

Because the course is geared for preschool-aged children, each lesson is comprised of 3-5 musical activities that are about 2-3 minutes each — think “Sesame Street” style!

You can view the lessons at your own pace (I recommend one per week). There are checklists within each lesson that give you suggested activities to complete in between the lessons to help your student retain the information that is taught.
