Class Size:  

Classes for Babies through Music Makers 2 require a minimum of 5 children and a maximum of 8 - 10. The keyboard classes have a minimum of 3 and maximum of 4. Classes not meeting minimum requirements by Sept. 1 may be cancelled and your second choice assigned.

Parent Education is Vital:  

Registration in classes at Keen Music and the Arts is incomplete without a parent education class. Parents, you are the first and most important teacher that your child will ever have. It is our experience that parents who understand what musical parenting is all about are better able to guide and influence their child's musical growth and experience. The end result is greater success in building a strong musical foundation that will last a life time and bring enjoyment to the whole family.
