Early Childhood Music &
Music Makers: At the Keyboard
2020–2021 Class Schedule
In light of continued safety concerns and the uncertainty about in-person (music) instruction, we have made the decision to retain Early Childhood Music and Music Makers at the Keyboard in a virtual mode for the fall 2020 semester. While this may be disappointing we are certain you recognize the importance of a COVID-safe environment for your family and our faculty.
Thank you for your understanding and patience.
Registration is now open for Fall 2020.
