Let’s Play Music BRIDGE is the next step for Let’s Play Music Graduates who want to continue total musicianship education with a piano focus.

What is the Let's Play Music Bridge Course?
Let's Play Music Bridge is an additional year of instruction available to Let's Play Music Graduates. The Bridge course will reinforce concepts and skills learned in Let's Play Music while progressing with additional instruction and skills needed for success in the students' piano and music education going forward. The small group setting is an engaging, fun and familiar setting for Let's Play Music students, and a complete musicianship focus continues to build a well-rounded depth of music education unparalleled by any other program.

Why is Bridge so important?
Let's Play Music students have an amazing foundation, but much that has been gained may be minimized or lost without the proper teacher who understands where they are in their studies. Their next teacher should know how to communicate with them and apply this musical foundation and knowledge. This Bridge course will help them build on their excellent foundation and bridge any private piano communication gap so they can transition smoothly into private piano lessons or any other music lessons they might be interested in. Let's Play Music graduates are perfectly primed to excel in their piano studies and the Bridge course will help them succeed!

The Curriculum
The Let's Play Music Bridge curriculum has been carefully crafted to solidify skills learned across the three years of Let's Play Music. The students will have the opportunity to reinforce the many newly introduced concepts and skills learned in the 3rd Year of Let's Play Music, such as numerical counting and rhythm skills up to sixteenth notes, scales and chord skills in varying keys, composer and classical music knowledge, composition skills, accompaniment styles, key signatures, time signatures, note names and staff placement, music theory and sight reading skills just to name a few. All of these concepts will be reviewed and expanded on throughout this important year of musical transition. They will be taught about the new yellow chord (the V7 chord) along with many other important concepts, skills, symbols and labels that will help ensure that their abilities don't get 'lost in translation' as they progress. Both individual instruction and engaging group instruction are important in their progression. Classes will be held in small groups of 2-6 students and will include segments of individual instruction time as necessary with customizable assignments and selections of repertoire as needed to create a learning environment that is ideal for each student throughout the school year.
