Music education for young children
PRISMS™ evolved out of the need for affordable, quality music instruction for Family Child Care centers and the home. From the very first lesson children begin to develop a sense of rhythm, sing songs, play instruments, and explore the language of music. All the while, they are enhancing their language acquisition and motor skills.
Every lesson has been carefully crafted to suit the abilities of preschool age children, including suggestions for adapting lessons to meet a variety of abilities and interests. PRISMS™ features the music of the highly acclaimed children’s performers Tessarose and Hap Palmer.
Training videos are provided for every activity. Even if you have no musical training you will feel confident teaching and learning along with the children in your care.

Unlock the power of music education in the preschool...
We understand the effort needed to provide a well-rounded preschool education, and one major roadblock that keeps popping up is music. It’s an essential part of early childhood education, a critical component in cognitive development. Yet preschool teachers and staff are usually not trained music educators. They struggle to incorporate music into their classes effectively and confidently. The result? Uninspiring music classes that fail to capture the children’s interest or cultivate their potential.
You want to offer your students an engaging and enriching musical experience – it’s crucial for their emotional, intellectual, and social development. But when the classroom teachers lack the necessary training, delivering on this promise becomes a daunting task. This gap in expertise leaves your teachers feeling overwhelmed and incompetent; it leaves your students deprived of an essential learning opportunity.
This roadblock isn’t just about teaching music; it’s about equipping your students with skills that will serve them throughout their lives – creativity, discipline, confidence. The PRISMS curriculum can train teachers to deliver effective music classes to help your students achieve their potential!
...and in the home!
Parents of young children want their children to be exposed to a variety of experiences but this can get expensive. The PRISMS™ program can save parents up to 70% over the cost of other music programs. Plus, it gives parents the opportunity to engage with their children on a musical journey.

About Yvonne, the creator of PRISMS™
My name is Yvonne, and I am an Early Childhood Music Teacher, Private Piano Teacher, and the creator of PRISMS™ Preschool Music curriculum.
For over 20 years, I’ve dedicated my life to teaching young children the joy of music. I have seen firsthand how it can light up a child’s face, spark their imagination, an instill in them a love for learning that will follow them all through their lives. But there was one problem – I couldn’t be everywhere at once. While every day brought the satisfaction of seeing young minds ignited with the passion for music, I found myself constantly wishing for more hours in a day or even better yet, a way to clone myself. There were so many centers that needed help with their music programs and not enough time for me to reach each one personally.
One day it came to me! What if, instead of trying to spread myself thin across multiple centers, I could equip already established teachers with the skills they need to teach music effectively? And thus began my journey of creating PRISMS™ – a complete program made for anyone to teach preschoolers music, no experience required!
It was an ambitious project that had never been done before but one driven by my love for music and the desire to make music accessible for every child; I plunged headfirst into this endeavor.
Instead of turning down teaching requests because I didn’t have availability in my schedule, now though PRISMS™ I can provide valuable music education resources right into the hands of teachers who are eager to bring the joy of music into their classrooms. This innovative approach allows the power of music to reach more children and, most importantly, gives teachers the confidence and knowledge they need to teach music effectively. Suddenly, the daunting task of providing excellent music education in every preschool has become a feasible reality!
While it wasn’t easy creating PRISMS™, every late night spent perfecting lesson plans, every hour dedicated to recording and editing tutorial videos, every hour spent researching and selecting the perfect resources, and every ounce of effort poured into this project was worth it because I know that through PRISMS™ I am making a real difference in the lives of young children.
