This fun and thorough curriculum is a two - semester extension of Let's Play Music, designed to take the LPM graduate's skills to a new level, truly transitioning them to private piano lessons. Carefully crafted lessons include instruction on ear training, harmony, melody, sight reading, rhythm, music history, theory, technique and musicality. Bridge at Lily Pad Music Academy is a group class of up to 6 students. Parents or piano teachers may purchase Bridge books and materials and use them individually from the class, through the Let's Play Music company.

LPM graduates will review, explore, expand, and gain a remarkable understanding of music as they build on the foundation they have worked so carefully to develop over the last three years in Let's Play Music.

What parents are saying about Bridge:

 

“I am absolutely loving the bridge class for LPM graduates. I was so worried about my son’s post LPM experience and knowing that this is available made me so happy! I had my doubts about group lessons, but I love it! Now I just have to worry about what comes after this. I’m completely convinced that this is one of the best music programs in existence.” 

 

“We have been so impressed with the curriculum of the Bridge class and the format. For our son, who really excelled in the format and structure of the LPM program, this program was a perfect next step for him.”
