Keys for Kids® provides the perfect musical introduction for young children. Designed as a yearlong course of study, Keys for Kids introduces children to pitch training, rhythm, singing, solfege and keyboard performance in a small group setting. The School provides keyboards for the group lessons; however, students must have a piano or keyboard at home to practice. Workbooks offer weekly exercises for home and class. Parent/Caregiver participation at lessons is required. Parents/Caregivers do not need prior music instruction to participate.
Ensemble classes are divided into age groups and meet for 30-45 minutes per week. Instructors will recommend the appropriate level of instruction for students with previous piano training.

Students may withdraw from the spring semester of the program if the school is notified in writing no later than Friday, December 7, 2012. After that date, students are committed for the remainder of the school year.
