At Keys for Success, we serve individuals of all ages, interests, and abilities. We tailor our services to the individuals and groups that we work with, making each experience unique and promoting success for all.

Adapted Instrument Instruction

Our goal is to make learning an instrument accessible for everyone. We implement a strengths based approach in our adapted instrument instruction in order to promote success and a love for playing instruments. We utilize adapted techniques such as colored and labeled music and instruments, breaking down concepts, incorporating sensory breaks and movement, and other ways to make learning an instrument fun, approachable, and attainable.

Adapted instrument instruction may take place in-person at one of our clinic spaces or virtually.

We provide adapted instrument instruction on instruments such as:

  • piano

  • guitar

  • violin

  • cello

  • percussion
