Distant Learning

Published March 18, 2021

Parents I know you’re tired of “Distant Learning”, I know your child is tired of distant learning…

…when in reality they aren’t tired of distant learning they are tired of learning information they are not interested in!

Let me explain…

Last summer we hosted our annual Keys 2 Life Performing Arts Summer camp virtually due to the pandemic.

We had almost 100 young people log on daily from 9am-2pm only breaking for lunch. We even had students logging in so early they were beating the facilitators into the virtual space.

Once Camp ended there were students trying to recreate their camp experience with their peers in their own virtual space. Keep in mind this was in the summer time when the weather was nice.

So see it’s not the distance learning they are tired of, it’s that they’re not engaged with the information. You have to give them what they want.

Good news for you and your child, we are bringing Keys 2 Life back in the spring with a Workforce Development focus.

So not only are they going to learn the technical skills of song writing and music production your child will:

Learn The Basic Of Music Business

Write & Produce A Song

Record Song

Release Song & Distribute Nationally

Record Music Video

Participants will also receive:

Bio

Professional Head Shot

So if they decide to pursue a career in the music the industry they’ll have a leg up.

Participants will meet twice a week virtually for 12 weeks starting the week of April 4th and ending June 26th.

Enrollment is now open for young people ages 11-17 but space is limited.

Added bonus for Wayne County MI residents. Your child may be eligible for a FULL SCHOLARSHIP and a CHROME BOOK or FIRE TABLET at no cost to you.

Enroll today, while space is still available click the link in the below to enroll or get more info. We hope to see your child virtually and we look forward to giving your child the keys 2 life.

First Day of Training

September 18, 2020

This was the first day of training for these high school recruits!

I framed and mounted the exhaust fans today. With two of these in our 2,900 sft training area, we now have enough ventilation to restart classes safely indoors when weather does not permit us to do so outdoors.

Making custom mounts for the exhaust fans

Self Esteem

August 21, 2020

When young people have high self-esteem, they tend to have better peer-to-peer relationships, they bounce back from disappointment more quickly, and are more likely to succeed at the tasks they want to accomplish. #EncourageOurYouth #WeLoveDetroitYouth

Responsibility Of Being A Role Model

August 18, 2020

Attention Parents: As your child gets older they need you to be engaged in their lives just as they did when they were younger. As our children get older and more independent parents tend to be less involved.
