Keys to Excellence was founded with the goal of providing churches, chapels, and other institutions with high quality expert-level advice on the subject of liturgical musical Instruments. Whether you are seeking to purchase a new organ or piano, or evaluate, restore, or renovate an existing instrument, we can provide the guidance you need to ensure that you get the best bang for the buck.

If you feel that we could be of assistance to you, please contact us. Our first meeting (phone, Zoom, or in person if within a reasonable commute) will always be free!

Core Principles

While every project is different in nature, scope, and goal, there are a certain number of principles which we always try to uphold in our work:

1. Maintain personal and professional integrity in all that we do.
2. Always seek the outcome that is best and most practical for the client.
3. Be conscientious of our clients’ fiscal resources.
4. View projects as long-term investments on the part of the client.
5. Search actively for creative solutions whenever possible; avoid ‘cookie-cutter’ options.
