Helping Children Embrace Their Creativity & Curiosity!
Hi there, I’m Naomi from Playtime Music Academy!
Where music lessons are all about fun, creativity, and sparking that natural curiosity in kids! Gone are the days of stiff backs and endless scales under the watch of a stern teacher. Nope, that’s not how we roll!
At Playtime Music Academy, it’s all about laughter, smiles, and discovering the joy of music. We’re on a mission to turn engaged learners into lifelong musicians, bursting with the confidence to explore the melodies and harmonies that call to their hearts.
It’s all about fun & play!
Imagine a piano lesson that feels more like playtime, where toys and colorful objects become part of the learning journey, helping kids see the music in everything around them.
That’s the vibe at Playtime Music Academy. We blend the essentials—note reading, theory, and history—with the sheer joy of creating music.
Our students? They’re composers, improvisers, and performers who actually love to practice and can’t wait to show off their skills both in and out of the classroom.
It All Began With Twinkle Twinkle
Naomi’s love for music was first ignited by her grandmother, who was also a teacher herself. She instilled in Naomi a love of learning and an unquenchable thirst for music.
Naomi began taking lessons when she was just six years old and still remembers the candy rewards she got for practicing!
Now, Naomi specializes in teaching piano and voice to children as young as 3 years old. But gives sticker rewards for practice instead of candy.
With over 20 years of experience, Naomi has discovered that children learn best through a fun & engaging environment of play!
Her students and families find her energetic and encouraging and come away from lesson with a smile and asking when their next lesson is! Students quickly fall in love with practicing and learning music on the piano. After a few years of consistent lessons and practice students are able to create, compose, improvise, and arrange music as well as being proficient note readers and performers.
Naomi’s education includes a BA in Music Education from Union College and a Masters of Music Education from the University of Kansas. She continually logs time in personal and professional development education.
Naomi lives in Missouri with her husband, four kids, a dog, two cats, and twenty chickens. She really wants a mini cow but the neighbors wouldn’t approve. She loves being creative with cooking, gardening, and knitting. She is always seeking new learning opportunities and how to engage with others in learning.
