Most parents want their children to learn to play piano but, getting busy kids to practice can be hard. We believe those students started too late! We have designed a fun and effective method that teaches preschool students how to play the piano while they are young enough to LOVE learning and music, before they get too "busy" with school and extracurricular activities. And, the result is students playing the piano correctly with both hands before they enter first grade!
We believe in the power of music and we know the benefits of learning to sing and play an instrument.
We believe in starting young! Our Music Preschool teaches all of the academics PLUS beginning piano!
We have Music Beginnings, parent-child classes where children ages 0-4 and a parent can make music and learn piano fundamentals together!
We have Piano Beginnings, group piano classes, where kids ages 4-9 learn to play the piano independently, in a fun and effective group class!
We know that practicing every day will produce the most success, but we also believe that singing or playing an instrument once a week is better than not at all. We meet you where you are with grace.
You will love it here!
Katie Gardner, Preschool Mom: As a musical person, I always knew I wanted to get my children into music, but with my first kid it seemed intimidating to try to figure out the best age to get her into lessons, which type of lessons we should do, if the teacher would be a good fit, if she would enjoy it and learn good habits like practicing. I loved that this preschool gave her exposure to musical concepts, theory, and practice 4 days a week while also ensuring her other pre-k skills were developed and making her kindergarten-ready. My husband is always blown away when she tells us about the different composers she's learned about, tries to teach him solfege, or plays all of her songs for him on the piano. I love that she has learned so much and it's created both a great music foundation for her and instilled a love of music for her and she is excited to continue to learn more with music.
Ashley Jensen, Preschool Mom and Keller Williams Real Estate Agent: My daughter absolutely loved Raya Grace preschool. It is such a great mix of academic learning, music and physical activity. I have loved that it is 4 days a week and so conveniently located by Days market in Provo. It was also fulfilling to have my daughter in a preschool that she was excited to attend each day. I highly recommend it!
Karmel Larsen, Preschool Mom and Owner of Utah Music Conservatory: Raya is an exceptional educator. She especially excels at teaching and inspiring children. I love the flow of her preschool how the children are moving to so many activities. Her grace as a mother is felt in the structure of her preschool. I love how music is intertwined into everything. The emphasis on healthy snacks is evidence of the care that goes into every aspect of nurturing the children while in her care. Love everything about Raya Grace!!! A safe and inspiring place!!
Aubrey Brinkerhoff, Preschool Mom and Musician: Our family has absolutely loved the Raya Grace programs. Our daughter is thriving in the music preschool, she absolutely loves Miss Cheri and talks about all the different things they do (and all the interesting snacks they eat!). The MVP (now Piano Beginnings) class was such a blessing for our son, and he advanced very quickly and was always excited to play us the songs he was learning in class. I loved that they both got to participate in a recital and overcome some fears of playing in front of people. The program is so well done, and has obviously had a lot of thought and effort put into it.
