Interview with Takenya Battle, Musician and Music Teacher
Show Notes

Takenya Battle is a master musician, teacher, and entrepreneur who helps children and adults alike arrange, articulate, and amplify their inner musician with online voice and piano lessons. 

The founder of Kenya’s Keys Voice & Piano Studio, Kenya specializes in the key of easy. She teaches music educators how to keep time with today’s technologies while still leveraging their traditional musical knowledge. 

Still, Kenya’s Keys does more than just that. Using her proprietary TLC formula in her online music lessons, Kenya helps bring a semblance of peace – pandemic or not – into the lives of everyone who steps through her virtual doors. 

With over 20 years of experience aiding 11,000+ students, Kenya is a renowned expert in unleashing the inner musical superstar in both adults and kids. Her other accomplishments include running her business while serving as a U.S. soldier, becoming only the second woman in her family to graduate college, and writing and self-publishing 2 best-selling books. 

When she’s not amplifying the voices of the next generation or decolonizing music instruction, you can find Kenya penning songs for the everyday entrepreneur who wants to use melodic prose to convey who they are and what they stand. 

If you’re ready to synthesize a new tune in your online music education business, Kenya’s Keys is the one to contact. Visit Kenya@KenyasKeys to find out more.
