Music Makes Friends – Group Classes

**Rehearsal and Performance Season is January 2023 – July 2023**

Choose from one of our many performing ensembles

Musicians taking private lessons with ANY teacher in the community are eligible to attend.

Private lessons are great but what’s the point of it all?

We are glad you asked!

It’s one thing to learn how to play an instrument or sing by yourself, but it’s a new incredible experience to make music (and friends!) with other people.

We are offering a fun and unique experience that allows musicians in private lessons to strut their stuff in one of several group music sessions we offer:

Wind Band

Flute, Clarinet, Oboe, Saxophone, Trumpet, Trombone, Baritone, Tuba, Percussion

6 Months – 2 years experience or Ages 8-13 (All beginning school band musicians are welcome)
