Greetings! We are so glad you’ve come to learn about Daniel’s Keys, the Keys to Kindness music program. At Daniel’s Keys, we believe that everybody should have the opportunity to learn about and enjoy music.
We are currently working with young people at several locations across the Greenville, SC area, offering unique opportunities to deserving students. These locations include Sounds of Carolina Music Academy, the Phillis Wheatley Community Center, and our East Greenville Home Studio.

Mary Allen, Daniel’s mother, is the piano instructor for the Daniel’s Keys program. She is a former elementary and middle school music teacher and private piano and voice instructor for students of all ages. Mary holds her bachelor’s degree in music education from the University of South Carolina.
In addition, Mary served as a school counselor for over twenty years in all academic levels, from K-12. She received her master’s degree in school counseling from Clemson University. During her years as a school counselor, she continued to teach private piano and voice lessons in her home.

Our Program:
In the Daniel’s Keys program, we work with a diverse population of students using a multimodal approach. Although our lessons are structured, we understand that no two students are alike. The best way to help learners, in particular those with learning differences, is to understand their strengths as well as their challenges and offer personalized support. Therefore, we meet all students at a level and style best suited for them.
Daniel’s Keys also incorporates kindness discussions within our weekly piano lessons. Along with piano practice, students are given fun and meaningful kindness activities to work on throughout the week.
Daniel’s Keys to Kindness is an active member of both national and local music associations. These include The Music Teachers National Association and The Greenville Music Teachers Association.
To be considered for the Daniel’s Keys to Kindness program, please read through the following requirements:
- Express a sincere desire to learn to play the piano.
- Carry out at least one intentional act of kindness each week.
- Attend piano lessons each week and practice at least three times in between lessons. (preferably five times per week)
- Read through our website to learn more about this wonderful opportunity!
*** Scholarship opportunities are available for students who are experiencing financial hardships. ***
