“Teaching kids (so young, too!) online seemed impossible! But you did it! I am so grateful that our kids have a connection to music. This was one Zoom class I never had to ask twice for the kids to do."

MiniKeys Band Class • For Kids Ages 4-5
A Great Place to Start!
Our core belief at Brooklyn Music Factory is the sooner a music student learns they can play music with others, the more likely they are to become a life-long musician. Thus we start with MiniKeys in a semi-private scenario of 4-5 students per class. It's designed to meet their energy & focus needs at this age while preparing them for a trajectory both in private lessons as well as band.
Fall 2020 Schedule
Monday 3:30pm

Wednesday 3:30pm
Thursday 3:30pm
Friday 3:30pm
Saturday 10:00am and 11:00am
Each 30 Minute Virtual Class Includes:
- Warm Up Game - We'll start the class by introducing the music concept for the day with a fun warm up game. Our music concept is based in either rhythm, melody, or harmony!
- Sing-Along - Everyone sings & learns fun movements along with basic music techniques. We connect the lyrics to movement so we can feel the music in our bodies!
- Rock Pit - This is where the music concept of the day is reinforced through interactive music games focusing on learning a new part of our song. MiniKeys students learn or write a new song together every 3-4 weeks!
MiniKeys students also have a weekly one-on-one check in with their teacher!
- Our MiniKeys teachers give instructions and guidance for the band’s song, focusing on the instrument the student has at home - whether on keyboard, percussion, voice, ukulele, xylophone, or others!
- We’ve found that this age group really needs that one-on-one time to connect with their teacher individually. It makes online learning better, and more comfortable for this age group. It also allows for deeper connection. Plus it's also a great opportunity for our littlest musicians to ask questions!
- We focus on the piano for melody, drums for rhythm, guitar for harmony & the microphone for voice & lyrics. MiniKeys students learn or write a new song together every 3-4 weeks. The MiniKeys BAND then plays it together on each instrument, not only learning what they're doing individually, but how their part fits into the larger band setting.
Creativity & Communication
MiniKeys encourages creativity and communication through music! Our experienced & nurturing teachers use stories and movement to help kids connect to the musical concepts they're learning.
“I just can’t say enough about the high level of attention and love for teaching music that exists at BMF. The overall vibe is great and the kids all look happy to be there. Thank you Jason Vance and BMF for making music class so enjoyable!”
- Millie, a MiniKeys Mom
