Private lessons are 1:1 study of your instrument and include Music Achievement Program (MAP) enrichment activities. Group Classes offer a relaxed, collaborative setting with others who share your love of music. Ensembles are performance-based groups of musicians of a similar age or skill level.  Workshops are structured, time-bound opportunities to explore a music topic or theme for all ages and interests.
