Abigail Wiest
Owner & Teacher — Let's Play Music and Sound Beginnings
Music has always been a part of my life from singing in the car with my family as a child to dancing to church and school choirs and playing piano starting at age 5. I have always loved music and the way it makes me feel. Once I started having my own children I wanted music for them too. I began looking for a program and with a teaching background knew I wanted something of substance, but that would be fun and encourage their natural love of music and rhythm. I found Let's Play Music and thought I'd just teach for a year or two; now, after teaching for over a decade, it's become my job and passion. I love teaching kids and seeing their joy in learning new concepts. I have taught young children in church and the community since I was a teenager; I even taught middle school math before starting my family. I am a native of Utah and have lived in San Diego since 2014. I also teach the Mommy and Me program at Indie Sol Outdoor Preschool, where I am beginning my fourth year. When not teaching music I can be found cooking, reading, crafting, organizing, traveling, biking or running, and hanging out with my husband, Scott, and our four kids ages 10-15 (all of whom are Let's Play Music graduates and Sound Beginnings alumni) and our dog, Penny.
