| What Parents Say...
“Keys for Kids is
a wonderful all-around music program in which my two girls, starting
at age 5, have learned to read music, to listen to music with greater
appreciation, and to play piano both from written music and by ear.
The classes are fun and full of different activities including music
games and dancing, all of which require parental participation.
Marina is an excellent teacher who keeps the kids interested with
her energetic character and ensures that they are learning as much
as possible with occasional stern reminders of the need to practice
accompanied by a generous reward program. This has helped my children
learn self discipline and experience the joy of accomplishment as
well as learning music skills. I would highly recommend the program.”

“Since last October, my kindergartner
has been a part of the Keys for Kids program. Keys for Kids is a
terrific introduction to reading music and playing the keyboard.
One day a week, a group of children meets in the music room. The
kids learn musical terms and proper keyboard technique, and the
games they play make learning about music a lot of fun! Parents
are encouraged to join their children for the lessons. At the end
of each session, the children put on a performance for their families.
I've had two kids complete the program, and both thoroughly enjoyed
it. At the "graduation" performance, each of them was
quite proud to play his selections and take his bows. I feel it
was a very positive experience for my children and for me. I would
recommend Keys for Kids to anyone."

"The course exceeded my expectations, not in Adam's ability
to play, but in our new understanding of music. It seems, the kids
(especially boys) really enjoyed the flash card games. We look forward
to resuming piano in the fall. I would definitely recommend the
course to all."

"Mrs.Gorny and the Keys For Kids Program go beyond ordinary
piano lessons. This is real musical education with intense piano
instruction. The sophistication of the piano pieces advances at
a pace that is swift enough to surprise the students with their
new-found ability. The children learn to read music and become familiar
with a meaningful array of musical concepts. They shed their shyness
and come to enjoy calling out answers and volunteering to play solos.
This new ability carries over into school and social situations.
Being included in the class helps the parents keep up and be of
real assistance during practice at home.
Mrs. Gorny makes it fun and competitive in a positive way. Children
really want to practice every day just so that they can tell Mrs.
Gorny that they have done so when she asks them. The children always
have a good time and enjoy each others' company. Our daughter loves
the lessons and we believe her love for the piano will continue
to grow as she continues to learn.
We are very grateful for these superior classes and cannot thank
Mrs. Gorny enough."
