Piano & Keyboards
Let's Play Music students graduate to full-size keyboards, building note reading and finger skills step by step.
Education Through Musical Play
Let's Play Music and Sound Beginnings classes in Rancho Peñasquitos — helping San Diego children connect to their musical and educational potential.
Play Is the Way Children Learn
Singing & Solfège
The voice is the first instrument — children learn to sing in tune with solfège hand signs, folk songs, and joyful games.
Ear Training with Tone Bells
Tone bells, games, and classical-music puppet shows train little ears years before fingers are ready for piano.
Parents Are Part of It
From lap babies in Sound Beginnings to practice partners in Let's Play Music, families make the music together.
Two Programs, One Musical Journey
Sound Beginnings welcomes families year-round, and Let's Play Music begins fresh each fall — both build real musicianship through play.
Sound Beginnings
Ages 0–4 with a caregiver
A 30-minute weekly family music class that builds a solid music and preschool foundation through singing, movement, instrument play, stories, and ear training.
Let's Play Music
Ages 4–6 entry
A three-year foundational music and piano program that teaches ear training, note reading, solfège, classical music, and composition, all through play.
Parent Testimonials
Who Is Ms. Abigail?
Ms. Abigail has loved music since she started playing piano at age five. When she went looking for a meaningful, genuinely fun music program for her own children, she found Let's Play Music. After teaching for over a decade, it remains her passion.
A Utah native in San Diego since 2014, she teaches from her home studio in Rancho Peñasquitos, where her own four children all grew up as Let's Play Music and Sound Beginnings students.
Our Mission
Abigail Plays Music helps connect children to their musical and educational potential, connect families, and connect the community through sharing joyful musical moments.
A Home Studio Built for Little Musicians
Classes meet in Ms. Abigail's home studio in Rancho Peñasquitos, right by the I-15 and 56 intersection. It's a small, welcoming space built around hands-on music-making.
The studio is set up for real music from the very first class. Children sing and play together on tone bells and the autoharp, and Let's Play Music students each get their own full-size keyboard to play in class.
Registration for Fall 2026 Is Open
Let's Play Music begins August 17 and Sound Beginnings begins after Labor Day on September 9. Free sample classes fill quickly — come experience a class before you commit.
