Little Keynotes
Little KeyNotes is our program for 4.5-6 year olds, where an age-appropriate play-based approach is used to learn short two-bar phrases, using 5-finger positions and a lot of songs and games! A pre-reader stave is used. We listen to a wide variety of genres and styles of music thinking about what they communicate.

Storytellers is our program for beginners age 6+. Our songs punctuate the story and we use musical elements and piano techniques to illustrate. Piano foundations are embedded using a pre-reader stave.
Pre-notes
Pre-Notes is a pre-piano curriculum for 3-4 year olds that uses topics that focus on the four seasons. We play with letters and numbers to develop our understanding of the musical alphabet and our piano-hand finger numbers. Using call-and-response we develop a sense of rhythm and pitch awareness.
"We are so grateful to have discovered Mrs Shelia and Selah Music Studio!!
We appreciate how she encourages her students to use their talents to glorify the Lord. She clearly loves her students, and loves teaching! She makes learning fun, and my 6 year old looks forward to her weekly lesson! What a blessing Shelia has been in our lives!"
So Grateful

"We started at Selah when Ingrid was 5 and have loved seeing her grow in her skills. Mrs. Shelia has made the lesson pace personal to her needs and has made the atmosphere so welcoming for her. We really love piano lesson days, and have been thankful for how learning piano has become a joy for our daughter."

Growing in her skills
"As a mom of three girls who have taken private and group lessons with Selah Music Ankeny, I've been able to see how each of them has blossomed into musicians in their own right over the years. My girls still sing fun warm up songs that they learned from Mrs. Shelia over 10 years ago. Shelia has invested into the heart of our children both spiritually and musically. We can't imagine what it would have been like to have music in our lives without her."
