Summer is a great time to have fun and Keys for Kids classes are no exception. Many students excel in the more relaxed atmosphere of the summer. It is a wonderful time to continue the progress you have made during the school year or to "catch up" if you feel you have fallen behind.

SUMMER Keys for Kids CLASSES for new BEGINNERS:

Summer is a fantastic time to join our Keys for Kids program! Join the fun and make music with your child over the summer, with no long-term commitment. If you plan to enroll in a Keys for Kids piano class in the fall, this is a great way to experience a positive introduction to the program and to evaluate your child’s interest. Parent participation is required.
