We have been in Colorado Springs for more than 10 years, and have had an average of 200 students per year, a low rate of attrition, and many graduates! Our graduates are going into Children's Chorale, private lessons in piano, guitar, and flooding Youth Symphony and our local band and orchestra programs. They have a knowledge of how music works, great ear skill, know 33 staff notes, all rhythms, key signatures and have the foundation they need for a lifetime of music!



The "Early" Course is designed for the 4-5 year old child, when 80% of their ear is developing for music. Research shows that keyboard courses for the early child improves their ability to think, learn, reason and create.

The "Not Too Late" course is designed for the 6-7 year old child. The course moves quickly and aims for fast results in order to motivate the child to make music a priority when many activities are vying for their attention. With our course, music wins!

Both courses promote relationship with the parent and allow both parent and child to learn music in a non-pressured, positive atmosphere. An educational, entertaining environment is our priority. This is an activity that doesn't take away from family time!
