FEATURED STUDENTS

THE ARTS BRING LIFE TO LIFE!
The Greater Pittsburgh Arts Alliance launched a campaign back in 1999 using this as the theme to raise awareness of how important the arts are to everyday life. The students in the KMI studios exemplify so well how much music contributes to the education of a well-rounded student. Just take a look at all the accomplishments our students achieve and witness first-hand the importance of a music education. Our parents all agree that their children would not do so well in all their academic and extra-curricular activities if it were not for the discipline and self-confidence gained through a music education.
