To Announce Formation of Nonprofit Music School



WHAT:             Press Conference to announce the formation of the Keystone Musical Arts Center, or "KMAC," a new nonprofit school of music in Mechanicsburg, PA. Plans for a facility to house the organization will be unveiled along with an invitation to the public to view the raw space. Current and future programs will be covered along with major fundraising initiatives. Grants, awards and early corporate commitments will be revealed and key staff will be introduced.

                                 Graphics of the facility build-out
 
 
WHY:                There is no other music school in the area that combines an experienced teaching staff with a focus on contemporary ensembles housed in a modern, sound-proofed facility. The school aims to be a valuable community partner serving all ages. Where the opportunity for musical education is limited, such as for homeschoolers, KMAC will fill the void. Collaboration with other area nonprofits to address the needs of mentally, physically or economically challenged individuals will be essential. Offering music therapy within a music school is unusual, but it is one more thing that makes the Keystone Musical Arts Center special and needed.

The Keystone Musical Arts Center offers top-quality private instruction on most instruments and voice along with group classes, workshops, ensembles and summer camps. KMAC provides an opportunity for younger students to enhance the excellent education they receive from music teachers in our local school districts. For home or cyber schoolers as well as adults, KMAC can be the key to a well-rounded musical education.

         

Vision Statement:  The Keystone Musical Arts Center believes that music enhances every stage of life, and that everyone who pursues music, whether as a profession or as a hobby, should have the opportunity to reach their fullest potential.

 

Mission Statement:  We unite with the community by offering diverse, high quality musical arts experiences which inspire, enrich and advance musicianship for students of all ages and skill levels.

We operate in an environment that emphasizes both classical and contemporary fundamentals, and nurtures self-expression with an enthusiastic passion for all music.
