Spring Recital Online was a Success!

Our online Spring Recital was a great success with over 60 performers on piano , violin , guitar, and voice ! Everyone had a great time and the students all did a fantastic job! This Fall we plan to have an outdoor recital as well as a virtual option – stay tuned for details!

Thank you so much for performing in the Creative Keys Spring Recital.
Keep up the great work! We cant wait to hear you perform again soon!

Patricia loves taking lessons with Miss Chianna! She started to love music while taking music class at school and was also inspired by friends who play different instruments. She began taking piano lessons in Summer, 2020 and Patricia’s parents purchased a keyboard so she could practice at home.

Miss Chianna said “Patricia has made a lot of progress since the beginning and she’s extremely determined to master any challenge, which I’m always incredibly impressed with. She never gives up and I love that! Patricia is a wonderful and ambitious student who shows great consistency.”

We are all so proud of Patricia and it makes

us so happy that she loves music!

Mr. Anthony said: “Cooper is a wonderful student who shows an amazing level of dedication and perseverance.

He finished all five levels in the method books and since starting lessons has completely revamped his rhythm counting, practice style, and metronome use. All of those changes were extremely difficult but Cooper has been willing to make these investments and achieve continual improvements.

On a personal note, Cooper is also a really wonderful young man.”

“I really enjoy playing piano. Anthony is an incredibly encouraging and enthusiastic teacher.” – Cooper

We are all very proud! Awesome job, Cooper!

WINNER!
