is a dynamic, action packed, exciting program of early childhood music education.  Classes are designed to utilize a variety of learning styles in a supportive environment.  Beginning classes are now available in Makakilo/Kapolei Hawaii.  The MYC classes are keyboard based and include movement, music reading, theory, composition, rhythm ensembles and so much more!  They are a great way to introduce our child to music study and are a wonderful preparation for private lessons in the instrument of your child’s choice after graduating from MYC classes.


As a music teacher with over 30 years experience working with young children, it is my belief that all children are capable of learning music and developing musical talent.  It is my goal to have every child be successful in my classes.


Each year’s program has 36 sessions.  Keyboard work is an important component, so a touch-sensitive keyboard or an acoustic piano is required at home for practice.  Each hour long class is full of activities including singing, movement, keyboard, rhythm ensemble, and listening activities.  Composition is also a component in these MYC classes.


A parent or caregiver attends all classes with the child.  This is a wonderful activity to share with your child.

Music for Young Children

Designed for parents who want to introduce piano to their young children, MYC® provides a comprehensive music program that integrates keyboard, singing, ear training, sight reading, creative movement, rhythm, music theory and music composition.  Children between the ages of 3 - 11 and their parents benefit by acquiring solid music education in a fun group-based environment that enhances parent/child involvement.  Unlike independent teachers or other international programs, the MYC program combines early childhood education principles with music theory within a rigorous curriculum that is recognized by the Chief Examiner Emeritus of the Royal Conservatory of Music as a superior introduction to music.  More than 25 years of education and curriculum development experience and a stringent teacher accreditation process protects the program’s reputation for superior parent satisfaction.
