PELC @ Music School 2023-2024
Sign up for weekly music classes for your child, right here on campus! The Music School is located in the 400 wing.
As of 2/1/2023, COVID vaccinations are required for enrollment in select Music School classes and lessons. As the vaccine gains FDA approval, we expect to eventually require vaccination for eligible students in ALL Music School classes and in-person lessons. Vaccine requirements for PELC students will be discussed with the PELC Director.

CLASSES FOR 4s
Pathways – students must be 4 years old by 9/1/23
Pathways students enjoy musical games, crafts, and musical stories. Piano lessons are saved for a later time, after the child has had a broad introduction to reading and understanding music. This comprehensive curriculum is taught through four age-appropriate development principles:
- Hearing – each child learns to listen carefully, developing the ability to concentrate, discriminate, identify, and enjoy the relationship of sounds
- Rhythm – children respond to patterns in songs and games with large and small body movements
- Reading – each child learns to identify the symbols of music, approaching music-reading as a natural extension of the listening process
- Playing – children develop facility at the keyboard, coordinating and refining the areas of hearing, moving and reading
FIXED MONTHLY TUITION: $90/100 (tuition is reduced for students who will be missing PELC classroom time in order to attend Music School; discount will be applied after the initial registration is completed)
