“Piano Party” Pilot Class
Get ready to kick off your March Break with music, fun, and learning at our exclusive Piano Party Pilot Class!
This is a unique opportunity to experience a brand-new way of learning the piano with a fun and creative twist.
A chance to dive right into playing piano in a dynamic group setting with innovative activities and engaging songs!
What You Can Expect:
- Two Half Days of Musical Fun:
- Time: 9:00 AM – 11:30 AM (each day)
Each morning will consist of two distinct Piano Party Lessons, spaced apart with time for free time play and snack in between (student brings snacks)
Inclusive, Creative Learning:
Everyone plays together, but everyone thrives individually! Whether you're a total beginner or already have some experience, our differentiated approach ensures that you’ll be challenged, yet supported.
Fun, Hands-On Activities:
From pinching crabs for staccato to exploring fortissimo dynamics for the Giant, your musical language will grow through playful and memorable activities.
Learner Choice & Exploratory Fun:
Choose your own musical path with exploratory approaches and creative options in the lesson plans. Get hands-on with thematic workbooks, all designed to help you make music in exciting ways!
Because this is a pilot project, we will be taking photos and videos of the action as we learn & play. No photos or videos will be shared publicly without parental permission.
At Joyful Sounds, we believe learning is most enjoyable when everyone is included, and every individual is empowered to grow. With Piano Party, whether you’re a complete beginner or have some experience, we make sure that everyone plays together while thriving individually.
✨ Innovative Curriculum for Every Learner
Our differentiated activities and songs allow students to learn at their own pace while feeling part of the group. Each lesson plan is designed to help you concentrate on outstanding delivery and the progress of every student, no matter their level.
🎵 Learner Choice + Creative Exploration
Our curriculum goes beyond the traditional approach with learner choice and exploratory techniques. Thematic workbooks and creative activities ensure that students are not just following instructions—they’re shaping their musical journey in fun, exciting ways!
💡 Interactive, Playful Learning
From pinching crabs for staccato playing to exploring fortissimo dynamics for the Giant, our engaging, hands-on activities make musical language and communication come to life! These playful exercises help students develop a solid foundation for technique and expression while keeping the experience fresh and full of joy.
🌟 The Core of Our Class: Creative Choices
Piano Party isn’t just about playing music—it’s about discovering creativity. With an environment where you’re encouraged to experiment and express yourself, you’ll be amazed at how quickly your musical confidence grows.

Studio Policy
Joyful Sounds Enrollment Information. While some information for our classes would be specific, our overall studio enrollment information is similar.
Class-Specific information is found at time of registration, and will also be sent out again before your first class.
Joyful Sounds Music Studio classes take place from September to June during our school year session. Summer sessions are developed if space allows - our main studio location is filled with summer campers weekly. Families enrolled in group classes such as Kindermusik, KeyNotes, Pop Academy & more at Joyful Sounds Music Studio will receive 39 weeks of instruction, performance & celebration time.
Bonus Classes:
Families are invited to take advantage of our unlimited Bonus Class feature if applicable to your class. Currently, all Kindermusik & KeyNotes classes have unlimited Bonus class options. Pop Academy Soundcheck Bands & Theory classes also have these options. While you are an actively enrolled family, you can access bonus classes if you miss your actual class for any reason. Kindermusik families do this via our family platform at my.kindermusik.com. All other group classes will need to contact our Front Desk Team to book bonus classes.
For Kindermusik: Sick? Away? Crazy Day? No problem! Simply log into the platform and see all bonus class options available and book yourself a seat in class. The Kindermusik Educator will be automatically notified that you plan to attend.
Cancelled Classes (Staff):
Sometimes our teachers get sick or are performing and need to cancel classes. In these cases, the family account will have a financial credit created that will apply directly to the next monthly payment.
Payment Structure:
Our school year runs from September to June, with a total of 39 instructional class and performance/celebration weeks. The cost of all 39 weeks is divided into 10 equal monthly payments from September to June. This way, families can plan ahead for consistent payments throughout the year. Payments are charged on the 1st of the month.
Unenrollment
Need to stop your enrollment? No problem! Simply let us know before the 1st of the month to avoid next month’s charges. Should you provide notice on the 1st or later, your enrollment will continue for that month, and be scheduled for unenrollment at the end of that month.
