- This class is progressive, so that once the curriculum has begun, new students may not join.
- Transfer students are accepted into the Kids 'n Keys format. Call the office for an evaluation appointment.
- The piano is difficult to teach in the preschool years, but Kids 'n Keys is successful because of it's fun format.
- Singing is incorporated throughout this program, creating a circle of learning and enhanced ear training.
- When your child plays piano and sings, no other activity that they may be involved in have a greater brain function enhancement. this piano-based program wires a preschooler's brain differently for the rest of his/her life.
