Keys for Kids Program

The Keys for Kids Program was established over 10 years ago by Dr. Carolyn Quin, professor emeritus. Keys for Kids works in partnership with MVC's Early Childhood Education Center to help young children develop their first connection with music. Children learn basic piano, singing and rhythmic skills, with no previous experience being required to participate in this exciting, student-led learning opportunity. Many of our graduates have gotten high paying teaching jobs right out of MVC due in large part to their extensive Keys for Kids teaching portfolio.
