We believe that music education should incorporate real world application, be adaptive to each student’s desires and abilities, and be flexible with changing technologies and methods of learning.
To help achieve these goals, we have created performance opportunities available to our students as well as the general public, and every class or workshop that we host is designed to teach relevant and practical skills.
Below is a list of our paid and free programs. Performance Shop groups offer a discount for currently enrolled private lesson students. The Student Jam and Student Recital are free to current lesson students.
