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 for Penguin Piano Camp!
Let's dive in to some tunes on the black keys of the piano using the WunderKeys "Chillin' on the Black Keys" piano primer! In this one week piano camp, students will play, sing, dance and explore music, then take all of that learning to the keyboard for playing, composing, and improvising music on the black keys of the piano. Students will learn finger numbers, rhythm notation, and reading.
This camp is for piano beginners. No prior experience required. No practice required. No piano at home required.
Ages 6-8, with a limit of 8 students.
