How It All Started
Located at the Wakarusa Marketplace (1540 Wakarusa Drive, Suite SE), Keys of Joy! Studio was opened by Evan and his sister, Paige, in August 2011 with 21 students. Paige married in 2014 and now lives with her husband and her cats in Kansas City. The studio is now run by Evan Hunter and John Hunter, and hosts six instructors including the owners.

A World-Class Facility
This is not just another music teaching studio. We built a new facility from the ground up for just one purpose: to enable you and yours to become musically expressed for a lifetime. To that end, we operate eight sound-isolated teaching spaces — including a working piano lounge.
Our classrooms use new Kawai acoustic and digital pianos, HD video displays, and Bose sound systems.
Below, you see our newly remodeled lobby. On the right is a world map showing the places where our students are from. Just beyond the map on the right is Classroom 1. The doors to our Piano lounge are at the center of this image, and to the left behind the window wall is Classroom 3.
Below, you see the piano lounge. Our students can play for friends, family and others who just happen to be in the lounge. The lounge is equipped with a Steinway grand piano and digital instruments, has room for studio bands, and is equipped with state-of-the-art lighting and Bose sound reinforcement systems.
No other studio in the area, outside of a university music department, provides the facility, equipment and outstanding methods that are offered at Keys of Joy.
Make Music a Companion for a Lifetime!
