MiniKeys and Jam Band 101

MiniKeys

For Preschoolers and Kindergarteners

 MINIKEYS is a game-based group class which is a perfect launch pad for a student’s musical journey. We explore piano, drums, and voice and write original songs in our band.


MiniKeys plants the seeds for a growing love of music.  Through games, songs, and hands-on instrument play, MiniKeys nurtures creativity, kindness, and friendship in a musical environment!


MiniKeys is perfect for total beginners! It’s an ideal program for those aging out of Music Together®.  Kids who do well in MiniKeys are excited to try out all the instruments and enjoy playing games and learning in a group setting. Children should be able to participate independently; while parents are encouraged to stay in the waiting areas, the classes themselves do not include parent participation. 


This is a year-round program consisting of two 15-week sessions during the school year.  If there is space available students may join at any point during the year.

Jam Band 101

For 1st and 2nd Graders

JAM BAND 101 is a game-based, songwriting-centered class that inspires collaboration and communication through music. Kids learn music fluencies, practice basic instrument technique, gain confidence in their creativity and find joy in music.


Jam Band 101 is perfect for total beginners, as well as for kids with 1-2 years of band and/or private lesson experience. Kids who do well in Jam Band 101 are excited to try out all the instruments and enjoy playing games and learning in a group setting.


Through music games and songwriting, students learn core music fluencies (rhythm, harmony, melody, and songwriting), practice basic instrument technique and explore rock band instruments (piano, guitar, bass, drums, and vocals). 


This is a year-round program consisting of two 15-week sessions during the school year.  If there is space available students may join at any point during the year. 


2025-26 Class Times


Tuesdays, 5:30-6:30 pm with Joshua (starting September 30) 

Saturdays, 1:00-2:00 pm with Libby  (starting September 27)


Fees

$140 per month (4 months)


SAVE with school-year enrollment 

Sign up for both terms for  $120/month (8 months) 

The GSoM is a key part of our family's life. I thought it was going to be all about music lessons, which are great, but it goes way beyond that too, with group classes for every age and all different styles of creativity.
