Golden Key Piano School’s January 2026 Newsletter

Dear Golden Key Piano School Community,

Happy New Year! We hope you had a joyful holiday season and a wonderful start to the year. Below you’ll find important updates and exciting opportunities happening in our Golden Key community this month.

1. Duet Recital Videos

Congratulations to all students who participated in our Annual Duet Recital. It is amazing to see where our beginner students start and where our advanced students end up being after years of hard work, persistence and ups and downs. Keep up the good work you all!

The videos of our 2025 annual duet recital are now uploaded on YouTube here. Please watch, “like” and share and don’t forget to tag Golden Key Piano School when you share videos on your social media.

2. Group Classes

We are excited to resume our Group Preparatory Piano Class for ages 3–4, starting this February!
Little musicians will sing, move, play, and explore the piano in a fun, nurturing group setting to prepare for private piano lessons.

30 minutes, once a week
$360 for a 3 month session

Parents can learn more and sign up by RSVP’ing to us.
We’d love to welcome your young music lover!
