Practical matters

Curriculum

Designed as a multi-year program of study, “Keys for Kids” is divided into three age groups. Each group follows sequential levels, with each level comprised of 15 lessons:

• Ages 4-5: Mini Keys (Level 1, 2, 3)

• Ages 5-8: Kinder Keys (Level 1, 2, 3)

• Ages 8-11: Super Keys (Level 1, 2, 3, 4, 5)

Each class lasts 45 minutes and meets once a week. Between the classes students need access to a piano or a keyboard (with full-size keys and 4-5 octaves). Daily practice is important to ensure progress in class.

Prior to registering, beginners are offered a free introductory lesson.

Parental attendance

Parents/caregivers attend weekly classes with their children. With parental involvement, students have a support system at home, they are encouraged to practice, and are more likely to continue their musical studies. As a parent/caregiver you do not need to know music when you come here with your child, but please have an active interest.

Make-up lessons

If your child misses a class, the homework will be emailed to you. At the discretion of the teacher, the child may be offered a private make-up lesson if needed.

Auditions and Recitals:

• After two or more years of studies students are encouraged to take part in annual National Auditions offered by the American College of Musicians. The auditions are held in June and require memorization of a program consisting of 4-10 pieces.

• All private students are offered an opportunity to participate in a Spring recital which may be by Zoom.
