Keys 2 Success

Keys 2 Success Music is the Key. Community is the Success. Long-term, it seeks to improve individual lives and the communities in which those lives are lived.

For legions of disadvantaged children in Newark, New Jersey, the effects of poverty are not confined to material want. They lack access to the broader cultural inheritance and effective network enjoyed by children in more privileged communities. In particular, they lack exposure to classical music training, which serves as a effective vehicle to develop critical social skills and effective network

required to thrive in the wider professional world. This program seeks to enrich the lives of such children - to enable them to "possess everything" -- through music education. The means to that end will be intense, individualized training in the piano, coupled with percussion work to strengthen rhythmic skills and ensemble work to enhance collaborative ability and peer learning skills. The goal of the program is not necessarily to produce world-class musicians, though that may well happen. Rather, the goal is to use music education as a means to personal betterment for children who might otherwise lead lives of not only material but also cultural deprivation.

From student to teacher. From free lessons to paid work. From practicing alone to performing with orchestras.

This is what happens when a community invests in young people—and they invest right back.

Music gives opportunities, friendships, and the confidence to lead.

This is the ripple effect. This is what's possible when we believe in our young people and give them the tools to rise.

We visited Montclair State University on Friday and absolutely loved our personal tour! Our favorite part, of course, was our time to shine on the piano.

Some of our musicians are self taught, some learned piano recently, and some have been with Keys for years. They all are insanely talented, and we wanted to showcase some raw footage of their impromptu performances!

Having the support of a community during the early stages of life is incredibly important, and Keys aims to be that for our volunteers, students, and interns who are navigating the many paths life offers. While the future can feel uncertain at times, we have no doubt that these young people will thrive. They are united by a strong work ethic, a passion for leadership, and a deep sense of community. Whatever path they choose, we believe they will find success ☺️✨🎶

At Keys 2 Success, we empower our students to grow both musically and personally. While they're learning to play piano, they're also discovering more about themselves: their leadership styles, strengths, and self-worth. Most importantly, they're learning that they deserve to be seen, heard, and treated with respect.
