About

Where the keys meet the cadence.

Ivory Keys Cadence Publishing is an independent publisher built around the piano: the instrument where melody, harmony and resolution all begin. Our catalog spans pop, country, folk, classical, rock and anthemic ballads, with a particular love for lyrical, emotionally direct material.

Every work in the catalog is original and copyrighted. Works are registered with BMI, The MLC and the U.S. Copyright Office, so licensing is clear and straightforward.

About the founder

Toni Elitharp, Ph.D.

Toni Elitharp is the founder of Ivory Keys Cadence Publishing and the songwriter behind every title in its catalog. She spent more than four decades as a special educator, work that taught her to listen closely and to find the meaning in what others overlook.

Today she is a writer and creative entrepreneur, the author of a memoir, healing poetry, a children’s trilogy and a science fiction series. Her songs carry the same voice: resilience, love, loss, gratitude and the courage to begin again.
