Keith’s Music House is a place where aspiring music-lovers and artists of various ages can learn from professional musicians and hone their craft.
Keith Lewis, owner of Keith’s Music House, opened the music haven in the fall, fulfilling a longtime dream. Over the past year, Lewis searched for the perfect location for the music house and found it at 750 Main St., Boylston.
“I have worked for other music places before, performed professionally and traveled a lot doing so,” Lewis said. “I have kids and wanted more of a home base. It was just the right time in my life to open the music house.”
The term “music house” is certainly fitting for all the business has to offer those looking to gain music experience. “This is a place that provides music lessons to kids and adults,” Lewis said. “We offer guitar, drums, voice, piano and bass lessons.”
Currently, lessons are offered Monday-Thursday, primarily from 2:30-8p.m. Children can begin lessons at 6 or 7 years old, per Lewis’ suggestion.
As for skill level, Lewis said, “We teach any skill level and make sure to cater to everyone.”
Keith’s Music House provides lessons in several formats – groups of two, groups of three or more, and then one-on-one lessons are considered based on group lessons. For a group of two individuals, the cost of lessons is $100 a month per person. For a group of three individuals or more, the cost of lessons is $80 a month per person. For one-on-one lessons, the cost is $120 a month, or $30 per half-hour lesson.
As for Lewis’ staff, not only are they professional, seasoned, full-time musicians, they also just so happen to be his close friends. “For years I have been performing with these teachers, and when I told them I was doing this [music house], they were 100 percent on board,” Lewis said. “They are great friends and phenomenal teachers and musicians. I am very lucky.”
Some of the staff credits include performances on the The Voice and America’s Got Talent.
“Our teachers are full-time musicians. They share their real-life experiences with students and give them all the skills and information they can to provide the highest quality of teaching,” Lewis said.
As for what’s in store for the future of Keith’s Music House, Lewis said he plans on expanding lessons to Fridays and just added are rock jam sessions on Thursday nights.
“Anyone of any skill level can come and join. These jam sessions will be a great opportunity for individuals to get to play with and learn from the teachers and other students,” Lewis said.
