My child is too young for the Red Cloud Piano Lab. What’s next?

Do you have a young musician at home eager to learn? It’s never too early to get involved in a music education program.

The Red Cloud Piano Lab is best for students in 1st grade through 12th grade. Our method is based on independent learning, and we find that students are most comfortable and capable after they’ve started 1st grade.

If your child is younger, don’t worry! We have options for you!

Option 1: For Kindergartners

Red Cloud Recruits is our summer program for rising 1st-graders. Students learn their first songs on the piano, musical basics like rhythms and melody, foundational composition skills, and so much more. Each one-week intensive will not only prepare your child to enter into the Red Cloud Piano Lab in the fall but will give them the excitement and confidence they need as a beginner pianist!

Option 2: For Pre-K and Younger

We recommend Music Together. This early childhood music program is packed research-based learning and play. It's offered through a few organizations around the city.
