At Lily Pad Music Academy, children discover the joy of music through play! Mrs. Leslie's engaging group classes—Sound Beginnings, Let's Play Music, and Presto—feature award-winning curricula inspired by the teaching philosophies of Zoltán Kodály, Émile Jaques-Dalcroze, and Carl Orff. Through singing, movement, storytelling, games, and creative piano learning activities, students build strong musical foundations in rhythm, pitch, piano, and music theory—all in age-appropriate, hands-on ways that make learning fun. Step into a class and you'll find children laughing, moving, creating, and growing into confident young musicians.

  

Clarinet is Mrs. Leslie's absolute favorite instrument, and she enjoys sharing her passion with young clarinetists. Clarinet students learn to be beautifully expressive clarinetists, and are taught essential fundamentals to best understand their instrument and ultimately be confident performers.
