Summer Music Camps and Piano Lessons
Stay cool this summer with summer music at Creative Keys! Our innovative workshops and summer music camps bring music to everyone – beginners to skilled musicians, elementary school kids and teens – so bring a friend even if they don’t play the piano! Our small class sizes (6-12) mean that each student receives a lot of individual attention.

Piano Safari Kick-off Piano Camp (ages 6 and up)
Let’s go on a piano safari at this action packed piano camp for brand new beginners and first year pianists. Explore and master what you’d learn in a semester of private piano in just two weeks! Learn to improvise by yourself and with a friend, play by ear, perform simple and complex rhythms, compose your own piece, learn notes on keyboard and staff, sing solfege, play chords, and more! Parents and students will tell you this is the best way to jump start your piano lessons! Students completing the camp may enroll in the fall at Creative Keys if space allows, or will have a great foundation to begin lessons with another teacher.
