Studies suggest that playing a musical instrument may improve learning, memory, logic and

general creativity. (See Huffington Post, 7/20/11, “Musicians Are Probably Smarter Than the

Rest of Us”.) St. Matthew’s Elementary School is teaming up for the 8th year with Keyboards Un-

limited Piano Studio, a local neighborhood piano studio that has served numerous St. Matthew fam-

ilies over the years, to provide a unique, innovative opportunity for your kindergarten through fifth

grade student.

For 20 to 30 minutes per week, during your child’s recess period at St. Matthew’s, s/he can learn

to play the piano and enhance musical skills in a high-quality, high-integrity small group setting

with other students in his/her grade. Designed for all students, this class is perfect for those stu-

dents who want to play drums, guitar, or any other instrument when they get older. We will help

lay a musical foundation that will last for years to come. Our program maintains the highest quali-

ty, while bringing out the highest potential in your child, in a fun caring atmosphere, at a convenient

time to help you manage your busy schedule. We will provide keyboards and music for class time at

St. Matthew’s. Each child must have access to a piano/keyboard to practice at home be-

tween classes.

The class will be held on Thursdays for 14 weeks, beginning October 11. The total cost for the first

session (14 weeks) is only $190, which includes music and supplies. A $10 discount ($180) can be

taken if full payment is made with registration. A monthly payment option is available: $70 due with

registration, $60 due on November 8, and $60 on December 13. For more information about the

class, please contact John and Diane Haines of Keyboards Unlimited @ (317)432-6291 or pi-

anodj@comcast.net. Feel free to visit our website @ www.kupianostudio.com .

your check made out to Keyboards Unlimited into the school office. Or print the form and return all
