Our programs provide free instrumental music instruction, music books and instruments loaned to students aged 5 through adult. We encourage adult family members to join and share the experience with their children. We teach through private lessons, small group instruction and in large ensembles. Our focus is on orchestral performance, at beginning, intermediate and advanced levels. Students participate in offering free concerts to the community several times a year at several different venues, and learn and perform a wide variety of musical genres. Our focus is on making music together with mutual support in the shared pursuit of excellence. We value radical inclusion and the strong connections that making music together creates among us as musicians, with our families and with our surrounding communities. Our tuition-free Teaching Artist Certification Course provides young dedicated musicians with teacher training, conducting, advanced musicianship, high level training on their primary instrument, and builds leadership skills that empower them to become teachers, mentors, and leaders in their communities.
