Class Music

Did you know...?  CHILDREN who are familiar with the songs participate more in class! (This is true for both Sound Beginnings and Let's Play Music!) PARENTS who are familiar with the songs participate more in class! (And when parents participate more, their children participate more!) Songs have been carefully selected and written to not only be fun, but a majority of the songs are meant to teach something, whether it's preschool skills in Sound Beginnings or fun theory concepts in Let's Play Music! Listening to the class music can be done passively or actively.  PASSIVE: You can just play it in the background (at home or in your car) and be amazed at how much learning is being done simply through the lyrics. But the better way is definitely... ACTIVE: You and your child can actively listen by singing along, tapping, moving or dancing to the beat, playing a percussion instrument, or using a scarf or other movement prop. During class you are presented with so many ways to have fun with the music. Feel free to copy those ideas or invent your own! Each semester class has its own professionally recorded album. The class music is a big part of what you are investing in with any Sound Beginnings or Let's Play Music class, so LISTEN TO IT  as much as you and your child can! You pay for the music whether you listen to it or not! (So you might as well get your money's worth!)

Trouble-Shooting

Here are some trouble-shooting tips to keep your experience smooth and fun:

• User name and password fields not recognized? On the initial log-in, the email field is case sensitive and by default, as you input your email, the first letter will automatically be capitalized.  If you don't get logged in, retype your email without the first letter capitalized, if your password is correct, that should get you in.
• IMPORTANT: If it's your first time logging in, you can't  hit the ‘reset password’ button because you've never ACTUALLY logged in. Attempting to reset before you've ever set a password will send you  round and round in frustrated circles. You must email the office to get a password reset.
• Missing music? You may get logged in, but don't see the albums you expect. You'll see "Something's not right here" and you'll be prompted to pull down on the screen to refresh your profile. If this doesn't work, log out of the app, close the app completely, re-open and log back in.  If you are still experiencing issues, click the "Reach Out" button within the app.
• Music won't play? When a new version is put on the app, there may be a syncing problem.  Just delete the album that won't play by clicking on the trash can in the upper right corner. Then close the app, reopen and refresh that album.
• Any other issue? The best fix-all is to completely close the app, re-open it, log out, and log back in. It can sometimes be necessary to uninstall the app and re-install it.
• If you still are having a problem with your music, please don't hesitate to call Let's Play Music corporate. They can usually fix any of your issues while you're on the phone with them. Their phone number is: (480) 840-1969 and you can reach them 9am to 4pm, Monday to Thursday and 9am to 3pm Friday MST.
