How It All Began: The KeyplayMusic Story 🎶
🎹 "Music has always been my compass, guiding me through life’s twists and turns. But the true spark for KeyplayMusic came from a mix of my own journey, my passion for teaching, and the joy of seeing kids discover music in new ways."
It all started with a fascination for connections—how music literacy and traditional literacy overlap. While studying Early Childhood Education, I delved into the idea of "part-to-whole" versus "whole-to-part" learning. Traditional music lessons often focus on the whole—learning a piece first. But what about the parts? What about the "phonics of music"—the rhythm, groove, interval training, and visualizing music theory? I realized there was a gap waiting to be filled.
And then, the "aha!" moment hit during my daughter’s art class. Her teacher introduced kids to modern and famous artists, then guided them to create their own inspired works. It was genius. I thought, Could I do this with music? Could I use legendary songs to inspire kids, teaching them the building blocks of music while fostering their creativity
That’s how the dream of KeyplayMusic was born: a keyboard curriculum that combines visualization, groove, lead sheet reading, songwriting, and pop music-inspired learning. It’s a way to connect kids with the joy of music while giving them the tools to express themselves.
