MUSIC
CHANGES
LIVES!
KEYS believes that every child
should have the opportunity and
access to study an instrument.
OUR MISSiON
KEYS’ mission is to provide free music lessons and performance opportunities to under-resourced students of Bridgeport.
KEYS envisions a world where every child has access to the transformative experience of studying and playing music regardless of circumstances.
KEYS Music PROGRAMS
Our “Music for Life” lessons program provides free individual instrument lessons taught by trained and experienced instructors to children whose families do not have the means to pay for music instruction.
KEYS has strong partnerships with Bridgeport Schools, who welcome us into the schools during the day, to provide a much-needed aspect of a child’s education. Everything is free as a KEYS student - including instruction, instruments, additional after-school programs, Saturday ensembles, and summer camp.
KEYS NEEDS YOU!
