Dear KEYS Parents and Families,


Welcome to a new school year of music at KEYS!


On behalf of the entire KEYS board of directors, staff, and faculty, I extend a heartfelt welcome to both new families joining our vibrant community and to those who have been with us for many years. We sincerely hope that your experience with us will be not only enriching but also lasting, creating cherished memories along the way.


For those who participated in our summer music program, we trust that your child enjoyed a wonderfully productive experience, filled with growth, joy, and the magic of music. As we embark on another exciting school year together, we wholeheartedly encourage this continued engagement, reaffirming our dedication to empowering youth through the transformative power of music education.


Our diverse backgrounds and expertise among the students, faculty and staff enhance the learning experience, ensuring that every student feels supported and inspired. We invite all families to actively participate in the KEYS Music community, as we believe that collaboration and support in the arts enriches our collective journey.


With sincere gratitude,

Karen A. Scott

KEYS Executive Director

KEYS Summer Program


Once again, KEYS held a 4-week Summer Program in piano, strings, guitar, winds, percussion, and chorus. It was a great way for students to begin or continue a music education and have the time to immerse themselves in preparation for the new school year. Our students enjoyed one-to-one attention as well as the ensemble experience and a chance to perform for family and friends.
