Our early childhood music classes are non-performance based. We believe that young children learn best through play, and that the most important role models for young children are the adults who love them the most! We offer weekly forty five minute in-person classes.
All of our Music Together® and Rhythm Kids® teachers have collegiate degrees in Music and/or Education, in addition to having completed the Music Together Intensive Teacher Training. We are passionate about sharing the joy of music with you and your little ones!

Our individual classes truly become a musical community. Many of our families continue through the entire three year Music Together sequence and then move onto Rhythm Kids®, creating long-standing social and musical friendships with one another.
In addition to the Music Together program, Alley Bell Music is also pleased to offer these musical opportunities for our growing learners:
Private Voice Instruction: Students ages 8 and up are invited to pursue private voice instruction with Sarah Richàrd or Elizabeth Galafa Ylaya. Students learn a variety of classical, folk and musical theater repertoire, with the focus being on creating a healthy and sustainable singing voice, and learning audition and performance skills. Lessons are given in weekly 30 minute increments. To inquire about lesson availability, please contact us at [email protected].
Private Piano Instruction: Mary Rose Lieberman, Sarah Giordano and Jaemee Kim all maintain their private piano studios at Alley Bell Music. All three teachers are known for their playful approach to learning, and enjoy working with students of all ages. Lessons are available to ages 5 and up. To inquire about lesson availability, please email [email protected].
Group Piano Instruction:
We offer a year long, 27 session group piano curriculum for ages 4-8, using the Safari Friends, and Piano Safari Level 1 curriculums. Registration for these classes requires a full year commitment, and is done via our class registration page at Alleybellmusic.com
Join us outside for 45 minutes of music making each week on the front lawn at Edmonds Center for the Arts! Bring a blanket, and we'll provide the rest! Maximum of two adults per registered family. These classes are weather dependent, we reserve the right to cancel for extreme conditions such as driving rain, excessive wind or heat, or wildfire smoke. Your teacher will alert you to any necessary class cancellation by email an hour prior to your scheduled start time. In the case of a class not being able to meet outdoors, we will make every effort to move to an indoor classroom at Edmonds Center for the Arts. If an indoor classroom is unavailable, you will be given access to our makeup scheduler to schedule a makeup class. Makeup classes will be on a space available basis and do not carry over from one semester to the next, and no refunds will be given for canceled outdoor classes. Tuition includes an illustrated songbook, CD, digital music downloads, and parent education materials.
