super fun after school Music making in Brooklyn!

Songlab
Music Composition and Performance After School music Program

Hey there Brooklyn Families! It has been a great 8 year run of fun and music making with our Songlab after-school program, but I have made the difficult decision to pause Songlab for the 2024-25 school year. We may bring the program back in the future, and will let you know if and when Songlab is coming back.

 

On the bright side, this means that we are going to be expanding our private lesson availability at Keylab, and will now be able to book private lessons for children Monday - Friday from 3pm, and Saturdays from 9:30am - 3pm.

 

We will continue to offer in-school, in-home & virtual lessons & classes as usual, and are happy to work with schools and families to create custom options to fit your specific needs.

 

Please go to our kids private lessons page or contact us to find out more about what we can do to help your family thrive musically this coming school year!​

 

WIth gratitude,

Adrian & The Keylab Team

 The Super-Fun Songwriting, Performance, & Music Production Program For Grades 1-5!

Songlab is the perfect fit for kids who want a low-pressure, fun-filled creative adventure every week!

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

 

Our flagship after-school program Songlab is an exciting combination of group and individual music-making that is perfect for families with 1st-5th graders who are looking for an effective, low-pressure, and fun music education experience! 

 

This dynamic after school program gives children access to our modern music education classrooms to learn about the keyboard, music theory, and music composition and production. Kids will gain experience with live performance using digital pianos, synthesizers, guitars, basses, drums, vocals, and electronic & computer-based recording & live performance tools. 

​

SONGLAB JR. is the lighter, leaner version of our full Songlab program, adapted especially for 1st and 2nd graders new to making music and working in groups of children outside of their regular school and home environments. Songlab Jr. helps children learn all about the basics of music theory, songwriting, and music production with an emphasis on creativity, self-expression, and most importantly FUN!

​

For all Songlab classes, students are grouped in small, age-appropriate "bands" so that they can enjoy the social aspects of making music with their peers each week. Children of different skill levels can participate together in all of our activities, so no matter what skill level your child is at, we will provide a fun, educational, and inspiring experience for them each week!
