Why choose Kelly Kirby?

Although today there are literally thousands of introductory music programs available for young children, the Kelly Kirby Method stands true to its original mandate: Take the child from known to the unknown, from the sound to its sign. This amazing foundation program has formed the backbone of music studies for thousands of students throughout Canada and the U.S for decades. Many renowned Canadian concert artists began their studies with this method. 

It is a very simplistic in its approach, laying down the building blocks of music studies that create a solid foundation in fundamentals. If you want your child to grow to love music and the life skills that a good musical education can provide, you will discover everything you are looking for! If you are a teacher looking for a solid, foundation based, proven program to introduce young children to the keyboard and want them to have strong sight reading and ear training skills, this should be your program of choice!
