Keys & Strings Music Studio

Studio closed today due to the weather. Lessons will be rescheduled as quickly as possible. Ms. Sandie says make snowmen and snowangels instead of practice JUST for today!

Hello families! Let it Snow! Please call the studio at 203-265-1500 on Monday December 27th to confirm lessons for the day. You can also watch WTNH for Keys & Strings Music Studio being listed and what we plan to do, but the voicemail is the best bet. Stay safe and warm and enjoy making those snowmen...as long as they don't blow away. Sing (Play or Bow) with you Soon! Sandie & Jay

I have been asked this question many times over the years. Sometimes I laugh, sometimes I get a bit sad. It's not encouraging for a child who has had less than 6 months worth of lessons to hear their parent ask the teacher when will my child stop squeaking/banging/playing off pitch and sound like you? I've been playing for over 40 years. It's not fair to the child to be compared to me. It's not fair for an adult student who has just started who has a family, full time job, other responsibilities to ask me this question either. Then there is the time spent playing outside of the lesson. I know that in this day and age, the word 'practice' sometimes has a negative connotation . I tend to use the phrase 'music making at home'. I assign exercises, etudes, learning pieces and solo pieces with sections marked with numbers of play. I give them the tools for good practice without them knowing it's practice. However........how much time is really applied at ...

Congratulations to Rebecca Spadacenta, Heather Kent and Liam McCafferty for getting accepted into CMEA Southern Regionals Festival. Your hard work paid off! The winners of the large snowman dolls at our Holiday Party were Alyssa C and Siohban R. I'm sure they are going to be happy with you. Congratulations to Rachel S. for making the jazz ensemble at her school.
