TESTIMONIALS
“Beau had a great lesson and is practicing already! So glad he got a cool, young, and knowledgeable instructor! He’s very motivated. Thank you and please thank Brandon!”
“The lesson went well; I felt like I learned a lot in a short time! Sarah is a wonderful, patient and encouraging teacher! I did not feel intimidated or overwhelmed! Her method and instruction is perfect for learners of my age”
Just thinking about Meyah’s instructors today and wanted to tell you that they really are fantastic. Ms Beverly is all business and such an efficient teacher. We can’t imagine ever looking for another piano instructor for Meyah. Never-ever! Today I am simply thankful for Creative Keys.
Simply put WE are THRILLED with
Creative Keys!!We were recommended to go here by a close friend, after she heard about our encounter at a big name music store. The instructor insisted my son must start with piano. Overwhelmed by all the instruments my son didn’t understand why he couldn’t try others. When we contacted Creative Keys we explained what had happened. Instead of insisting he had to start with piano they in turn had a much better approach. Explaining how the piano is a great starting point to build upon, however my son was more than welcome to try other instruments.
Once my son arrived he said he felt at ease there it was a nice smaller room and he felt comfortable with his instructor immediately! They had him try the piano and he loved it!! He is still curious to try other instruments but for now he is absolutely loving learning how to play the piano!!
I highly recommend Creative Keys to anyone!!!
A BIG thank you to the staff at Creative Keys for being so personable, friendly and understanding – it’s something the world needs more of!!
“It is not just a place to take lessons, but a community of teachers who truly care about each student and students that inspire each other. It is a family, not a business! I couldn’t imagine my children going anywhere else. They have been taking lessons for a little over year and they enjoy lessons and performance opportunities, Creative Keys truly is beyond a music school! Thank you for instilling the love of music into our children!!”
“I’m an adult taking guitar lessons. When I started I had zero experience playing anything. Justin Davis is very patient and encouraging and teaches at the right speed for me. The rest is just practice, practice, practice! Very reasonable lesson costs and I love that there is no contract. Coming for lessons keeps me motivated to keep practicing and playing.”
“Bobby is my son’s piano teacher and we absolutely LOVE him. He has been teaching Madden for 2.5 years now. We are so lucky to have him as our instructor ❤️”
Ms. Kathy has been teaching my 9-year-old daughter for almost two years & I have only compliments to give!!! Our daughter has shown consistent growth and she looks forward to her weekly Zoom lessons. I enjoy hearing Ms. Kathy & my daughter playing through the tricky parts of a piece together; sometimes there is giggling involved. (And with virtual lessons there is no Dunedin traffic.) In summary, Ms. Kathy is exactly the gentle & experienced teacher that we wanted!”
Love the music school and I’m very happy with the instruction I’ve received. I’m an adult taking guitar lessons. When I started I had zero experience playing anything. Justin Davis is very patient and encouraging. He teaches at the right speed for me. The rest is just practice, practice, practice! Very reasonable lesson costs and I love that there is no contract. Coming for lessons keeps me motivated to keep practicing and playing.
Sadie LOVED her first piano lesson and can’t wait to come back. Ex, the first thing she did during carline drop off this morning was tell her music teacher that she had her first piano lesson yesterday. :)
Our family loves Creative Keys Music School! They are family owned and operated and IT SHOWS! We feel so welcomed and care for when we are there. Hayley is very nurturing to the students and available for us if we have any questions. My daughter loves their summer programs and can’t wait to learn! Music is a very important part of our lives and Creative Keys has let us have an outlet for my kids to express themselves musically. We are very happy!
It was such a great experience for Jaden last night. His voice coach was very receptive and warm to Jaden. We sure look forward to coming next week.
We are totally, totally thrilled with the lessons there and especially Anthony! Your staff is so friendly and I look forward to sitting in the waiting room on Tuesday nights and chatting with the lady at the desk. Parker is just thriving and thinks so highly of Anthony. from both a piano instruction standpoint and an overall cool guy and mentor standpoint! Thank you!
For the past 4 months I have been working with Bobby DeSantis on learning the play the piano. I have enjoyed Bobby as a teacher as he makes sure that I am successful in hitting my goal that I want to accomplish. He is truly the outside voice that is in my head, saying I need to get this right before I move on. As an adult learner he is open to answering my complex and somewhat interesting questions. I tend to look at things in music that make sense to me. Since, the 30 minute lesson was not enough I moved to hour lessons with Bobby to help me nail down the needs for the basics. so that I can accomplish my goal of being able to play classical music. I would recommend Bobby as a teacher.
Kathy is a fantastic teacher for my 7-year-old daughter! She brings enthusiasm and dedication to every lesson. It is clear that she cares about her students’ success with learning to play the piano. My daughter also has a lot of fun with her!
We had just moved to FL from NC in December and needed to find a place for our daughter to continue her violin lessons. After doing a search I found CKMS and found several instructors/teachers for violin. Intuitively I picked one of them and have found Rebekah to be a wonderful teacher. My daughter loves her! The staff is helpful, friendly and we love it there!
Creative Keys music school is an excellent music school. My older son has had piano lessons from Eowyn for over 5 years and has made remarkable progress. Not only is his piano playing incredible but his confidence has grown. As well as being an amazing teacher, she is incredibly kind and patient. My other son has Dallas as his guitar teacher and has also done terrific. Dallas is also an amazing teacher and has helped my son develop a huge love for music. He has also helped him with his trumpet which he plays in school band. Both of my boys academic scores are high and I credit this with the terrific music lessons and teachers that Creative Keys has provided!
It was a great experience! We like Pam very much. When Aidan came out from from his lesson he had a smile from ear to ear. He has been playing non-stop at home too.
Gemma loved it! I think Chianna will be a good fit for her. She seems sweet, fun and patient! Gemma’s asking when she can come back.
I was referred to Creative Keys by several people. Once we started we knew why they gave us such glowing reviews of the place. So very clean. Friendly and professional. Very organized and a all around great family run business who cares about its teachers, students and the families. Our piano lessons have been fantastic. Mr. Bobby is great with my daughter. He makes learning so much fun and has so much excitement right along side her. I would recommend them to anyone. And…. it’s very affordable!
Our 8 year old son has been learning to play piano for the last three months! We love Creative Keys Music school. Our instructor Mr. Dallas is AMAZING! He pushes our son to get the best of him, our son for the very first time loves to go to a class different from school. He is so excited, he is playing the piano when Family comes. He makes us very proud. The School is impeccably clean, everyone is always with a smile, very very nice place for kids and adults, I highly recommend Creative Keys music school. I would give them 10 stars if I could so
keep up the wonderful job you all are doing.
Thank you.
Rob has been a very patient, enthusiastic teacher for my son. He had a flexible teaching style and was always eager to spend time with him. With the relatively short amount of time of weekly instruction and of course hours of practice. My son was able to form a band and perform at local venues. My experience as a parent working with Rob was very good as well as he was always polite and professional and often invited me to sit in on their sessions if I was interested. I would highly recommend Rob to any student with interest in learning to play the guitar.
After our son’s piano teacher of 4 years moved away, we were devastated……and then we found Creative Keys!!! What an absolute blessing. We love the studio, the owner and especially our son’s teacher, Mr. Anthony. He is passionate about what he does and it shows. My son has so much fun at his lesson and he looks forward to it every week. Mr. Anthony effortlessly passes along his love of music to his students and we are so thankful! While we wait in the lobby I’ve observed the other teachers there, and you can just tell that everyone here is top notch and form great relationships with their students.
Oh he loved it. And Dallas was great, I was very impressed with how much Robert learned and how efficient Dallas was in his teaching.
She loved it! Very excited and really seemed to enjoy not only Pam’s music but getting to know Pam! She seems to be a lovely person! Thank you! What a beautiful place to be!
My daughter started taking lessons with Sarah in June (2014) and we are both extremely happy. Sarah is young, soft spoken and sweet. My daughter enjoys going to her lessons. Sarah provides great feed back if I ask her a question. I think my daughter is moving at a great pace – every child is different – I’m not expecting Mozart. I want my daughter to love playing not because I want her to, but because she wants to and Sarah provides the appropriate speed that works for her, which I appreciate. The rest of the staff is also warm and welcoming.
My 5th grader just started piano lessons about 2 months ago and she loves it. We could not be happier. Our teacher is amazing, Ms. Sarah. If you have been thinking about it, try it I am sure you won’t be disappointed.
We are thrilled with George’s drum lessons! He clearly approaches drums from a musical perspective and he is a great and patient teacher. He anticipates the needs of his students and is always prepared. Really adds value to the music program at Creative Keys!
If there was one camp you wanted to “splurge” on because you think it would be enriching or be a different experience than VBS or a typical camp, then this is it. I’m going to sign him up for another session, I’ve just never seen him to eager to want to go back to a camp before. I didn’t appreciate what a positive influence Creative Keys would be on my son, this was a nice surprise.
She loved it!!!! She wanted to practice 2 times last night once home lol. And even this morning she said “I need to practice my piano after school!” THANK YOU!
He said she’s so nice and he liked it a lot. He said “I knew I had a good feeling about starting piano again!” I think she encouraged him a lot and he left confident which he specifically needed :)
It was a great experience! We like Pam very much. When Aidan came out from from his lesson he had a smile from ear to ear. He has been playing non-stop at home too.
Emma is loving her violin playing. It’s been so much fun watching her learn and excel. We are very happy with her lessons with Mr. James. She is very motivated right now.
If you are looking for exceptional instructors that meet your needs, look no further! We have received nothing but the best service from Creative Keys. My very first interaction was phenomenal. I was asked what we were looking for in a teacher and the possible times of availability. I was emailed a few names and descriptions of instructors that Haley thought would best meet our needs. They sounded so great that it was hard to choose.
We chose Kathy Carpenter and we are so glad we did! She has been and continues to be a wonderful teacher for my 11-year-old. Before coming to Creative Keys music school, my child was in piano for one school year and her previous teacher had her work on the Faber primary piano books for the entire school year and she was not enjoying the transition to the COVID style online piano classes.
My child wanted to move at a faster pace and was feeling like it was hard for her teacher (at a different business) to see and hear what she was doing. So, when we started with Kathy, I told her my child taught herself the level one books in the summer and asked if there was any way she could see if she learned the information in those books. So, the instructor had her play some pieces, asked her some questions, and determined she was ready to move on.
Since she started taking lessons with Ms. Kathy at the beginning of the school year, my daughter has made tremendous progress; she completed 2A and 2B and is currently working on 3A and they did it all online but it felt the same as in person. My child likes to move ahead in her books and try to figure them out before a lesson. Kathy is so patient with her, so good at giving her feedback, and great at moving at my daughter’s pace while also helping her continue to work on something if needed. Creative Keys really keeps my child engaged. Currently, they are doing a composition contest and as soon as my daughter heard this she excitedly started on hers. We are very happy with Creative Keys!
