Music with Miss Marcie

The 2025-2026 Let's Play Music classes have come to an end! Huge congrats to these cuties who completed their first year (keyboard prep) and will begin keyboard lessons in August!

Swipe to see the most adorable piano cake one of my thoughtful students surprised me with 🥰

Looking forward to fall classes? Start listening to your music NOW!

Download the Let’s Play Music app to access your albums. You can play the music right from the app or download them to another device from the digital library.

Regular listening to your LPM music will give your child the repetition they need to internalize what they hear and deepen their musical understanding. Plus, they’ll enjoy class SO much more when they can sing along.

🎶 Did you know that starting music education at a young age can have incredible benefits for your child’s development? 🎹🎻 Here are just 4 reasons why early music education is key:

1️⃣ Boosts Brain Development 🧠✨
Learning music helps with memory, concentration, and even problem-solving skills! It activates multiple areas of the brain, improving cognitive functions.

2️⃣ Enhances Emotional Expression 💖
Music is a powerful tool for kids to express their emotions, building confidence and emotional intelligence.

3️⃣ Improves Language Skills 🗣️🎤
Playing instruments and learning songs can improve speech and language skills by enhancing auditory processing and rhythm awareness.

4️⃣ Teaches Discipline & Patience ⏳🎶
Mastering an instrument requires practice, patience, and perseverance – qualities that will help kids in all areas of life.

Contact me to give your child the gift of music early on, and watch them thrive in ways you never imagined! 💫🎵

         

Hope your Valentine’s Day is full of love songs and treats 💕



         

Have you ever seen the inside of a piano? I rarely open mine up, but today I snapped this photo while it was being tuned.

When you press down on a piano key, it causes a tiny hammer inside the piano to hit strings, which vibrate and make a sound tuned to a specific note!

Over time, the strings naturally stretch and fall out of tune. Do not attempt to tune your piano on your own — you need to hire a properly trained piano tuner to regularly tune your instrument.

How often does your piano need to be tuned? Depends on where you live, the weather, and how frequently you use it. I usually recommend twice per year, but ask your tuner what they think!

Be honest, is it time for your piano to be tuned? 🫣

         

Have you heard of these guys? Kodaly, Orff, and Dalcroze are well known among school music teachers because they REVOLUTIONIZED the way we teach music to kiddos.

Play-based, experiential, full-body learning - all the best things!

Let’s Play Music brings these best practices straight to you. Gone are the days of stuffy piano lessons.

Happy holidays from the Parson family!

My church service had an incredible musical Christmas program, and I’m always so grateful when I have the opportunity to worship through music. Today and every day I am grateful for a Savior!

However you spend your holiday season, I hope it is full of good music, dancing, and lots of love. ❤️💚

When we learn an instrument, we cultivate resilience and growth mindset by practicing, making mistakes, and persisting through challenges.

I get it — practicing can be a battle. I’m here for you if you need ideas to make your child’s practice routine easier. Hint: it almost always involves more PLAY!
