Music Program

Our Music Program was created to ensure that all youth in our community have the opportunity to explore and experience music. Club members have the opportunity to participate in small group, and ensemble classes, with our advanced Club members joining the Music Maniacs performance group.

Music instruction is offered in percussion, keyboard, guitar, ukulele, and vocals. For many of our Club members, this is their first experience learning an instrument. Our musicians have the opportunity to showcase what they are learning at recitals and special events in our community, teaching them presentation skills and giving them the self-confidence to perform in front of a crowd.

As an extension of our free music lessons, our musicians also learn how to record their musical creations in ProTools.
