Rated 5.0 ★★★★★ by 9 happy members
In Junior Keys Course, your child will learn how to play the keyboard and at the same time will develop a rich vase of important musical skills. Music is a written language, so theory & reading activities are done from the very first lesson in an age-appropriate fun way.
Parents say that our Junior Keys Course is fantastic for improving confidence as children have the chance to do lots of performing in both class concerts and recitals.
Did you know that music training sets up children’s brains to make them better learners by enhancing both sound processing in the brain and cognition?

Hi I’m Caelyn, Your Music Teacher
Why I Teach Piano Differently
I started piano lessons at age 5 and fell in love with music early on. By 12, I was accompanying hymns at church—though not very well yet! A friend and I would each play one hand, and that’s how I first discovered the joy of playing with others. That same year, I got to accompany my homeschool choir, and I was hooked. Music became a way to connect, create, and build friendships.
As a social kid and a homeschooler, piano ensembles and group performances were life-changing. Music became more than just practice—it was a shared experience.
At 16, my family moved to Wisconsin for my dad’s job, but I was fortunate to plug right back into an amazing music prep program. I joined band, choir, and more ensemble work, which fueled my passion even further.
Eventually, I earned my degree in piano pedagogy and composition, and in 2024, I opened my own studio. I quickly grew to 50+ private students but noticed many kids were dropping out—not because they didn’t enjoy music, but because they wanted something more social. That’s when I began training in group piano teaching and discovered how powerful collaborative learning could be. Since then, I’ve seen students stay engaged longer (reducing screen time), grow in confidence, and become more enthusiastic about music when they get to learn and play alongside their peers.
Now, I offer Forte Piano for ages 5+ and Forte Early Childhood (Ages 6months-4years): a dynamic group piano experience that builds well-rounded musicianship, nurtures confidence, and supports the social and emotional growth kids need—especially in today’s post-Covid world.
