NOW OPEN!! Waiting list for LPM Bridge 2018-2019 >>> 
Let’s Play Music BRIDGE is the next step for Let’s Play Music and Presto Graduates who want to continue total musicianship education with a piano focus. 
What is the Master Musicians Bridge Course?
Lily Hight, owner of Best in Music in Orem, is the developer of this customized curriculum for Let's Play Music graduates.  Starting this year the curriculum is available nation wide through certified Let's Play Music teachers!  Let's Play Music graduates are perfectly primed to excel in their piano studies and the Bridge course will help them succeed!
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 the private piano gap so they can transition smoothly into private piano lessons or any other music lessons they might be interested in!  This additional year of study will be the perfect start for your student's continued progression in piano.
The Curriculum
The Let's Play Music Bridge curriculum has been carefully crafted to solidify newly introduced concepts and skills learned in the 3rd Year of Let's Play Music, such as numerical counting up to sixteenth notes, scales and chords in varying keys, composer and classical music knowledge, composition skills, accompaniment styles, key signatures, time signatures, note names and staff placement, and sight reading 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 newn 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 group instruction are important in their progression. Classes will be held in small groups of 4 students and will include individual tutoring time as necessary.  The curriculum includes INDIVIDUAL and GROUP instruction and students will have much of their repertoire customized so they can progress to a large degree at their own pace throughout the school year.
