We’re celebrating our 20th Birthday All Summer!

Keyboard West Studios’ established curriculum has been encouraging interaction, personal growth and creativity in students from Greater Des Moines for 20 years! We offer instruction in a partner/group format for all ages and levels.

We’d like to say thank you for the opportunity to touch the lives of students and enrich the community with the gift of music. We hope you’ll join the fun of our 20th anniversary celebration by enrolling in one of our exciting summer classes!
