Piano Labs
Gilmore Piano Labs are taught year-round in multiple locations by professional piano instructors and music therapists. Students grade 2 through adult enjoy small group piano classes, and music therapy programs assist young adults in developing life and social skills.
Through the generous support of our education sponsors, we are able to loan keyboards to families that do not currently have access to an instrument. The Keys2Kids program is available to any student registered for the Gilmore Piano Labs.
