Ms. Emily

Hi! I’m Emily Baldwin. I love music and I love kids. Teaching Let’s Play Music is my dream job! I grew up playing piano, singing in choir, and playing in band. I started college as a Music Education major and trained for 2 years at the University of Kentucky. After moving to Colorado, I graduated with a degree in Human Resource Management. My husband and I have 3 children and we love the Fort Collins area. In 2007, I started a music & movement class for toddlers. In 2010, I started teaching Let’s Play Music. In 2014, I added Sound Beginnings. The curriculum is amazing and I’m so blessed that I get to interact with wonderful families.

I would like to invite you to come and observe one of the classes I am currently teaching. Email me or call me to schedule a visit.

Parent Testimonials

I tried several other music programs for my children before finding Let’s Play Music. None of them compare to what my son is learning in this program. We are a family of musicians and are so grateful for our son’s teacher. Emily Baldwin is excellent… professional, knowledgeable, engaging, and fun.

I am amazed at how much my son has learned. I am thankful for Let’s Play Music and for Ms. Emily to be his teacher. He is actually playing piano at 5 years old!! He is enjoying it so much, and I am LOVING watching him learn to play the piano!

Our daughters love the group music lessons. Our oldest daughter completed Let’s Play Music and her private piano teacher was very pleased with her experience as well as her love for music - something we attribute to the strong musical foundation created by Let’s Play Music. We have another child who is in her final semester and has made so much growth. A younger sister is completing the 1st year. We are constantly recommending the program to our friends. Ms. Emily is enthusiastic as the kids play and learn at the same time. We have been impressed by the complex theory that is taught with such simple songs and games. By the time they finish their third year it is quite amazing what these children know about music! Ms. Emily communicates well with the children. She also takes time to explain principles to the parents, so that we can better teach our children at home in between lessons. The homework is fun and simple, and helps the children develop a love for music. We wholeheartedly endorse this wonderful music program and the great job that Ms. Emily is doing!

The Let’s Play Music program is one of the most incredible music programs available to young children. The curriculum is amazing! My daughter loves the songs, and I often find her practicing the piano on her own. I’m learning to play right along with her, and it’s a wonderful bonding experience. Ms.Emily is an extremely enthusiastic teacher. She makes learning music super fun. I enjoy the classes as much as the kids, if not more! I recommend Let’s Play Music to everyone I meet. Nothing else out there compares to this program.

My son has done all four semesters of Sound Beginnings and has loved going every week. He really came out of his shell because of the group atmosphere. Sound Beginnings provides a firm foundation for pitch, rhythm, intervals, scales, etc. and is a natural lead-in to Let’s Play Music. I wish all kids could start their music education in such a fun and welcoming environment!

My daughter and I absolutely loved Sound Beginnings! It was so much fun to spend that time together - singing, dancing and playing instruments. We absolutely love Ms. Emily - very positive and encouraging - even gets some of the shyest children to participate. We truly loved going to class each week!
