The Musikhaus Studio in Seabrook is similar to the one I had in Brazil: two pianos and plenty of room for movement, yet still cozy. The biggest difference is that the space for Music Play is separate from the smaller space for piano lessons and Keyboard Games.

Two pianos are great for private lessons, not just small group lessons!

Musikhaus Early Childhood Music Studio: not much to see here without kids and caregivers making music, which is on Mondays and Fridays at 10am!

On Thursday mornings in March 2016, I started giving Music Play classes to the children of Seabrook United Methodist Church’s Children’s Day Out program. This is an excellent non-profit, state-licensed preschool program offered to 2-year-olds (walkers) to 5-year-olds. I’m so impressed at how happy, friendly, engaged and curious the children are. And I’m happy to have found such a good fit at a preschool so close to my home studio, where I give Music Play classes for babies to 5-year-olds with caregivers, Keyboard Games classes for 4- to 6-year-olds and Piano Lessons for ages 6 and up.
As I have only been back in the Clear Lake / Bay Area for a little more than a year, after 18 years in Brazil, potential students and their families should appreciate knowing that, since the Children’s Day Out is a licensed program, I had a thorough background check and will have one every two years.
