About Us

Mission Statement

To teach students how to play music in a small group setting, experiencing the enjoyment, challenges, and growth that occur as a result of communicating, sharing, and learning with other musicians. Students will also be exposed to a broad range of music history and business opportunities as a way to discover their place in the world of music.

Primary Goal

The primary goal of our program is to allow every child to succeed in a band environment. Through this experience, each student will learn communication in a one-to-one and a one-to-many setting, understand the different ways that musicians communicate, and have the tools to navigate effectively any musical discussion. Students also will be taught how to learn and play music in a band environment, critical listening, music history, and equipment set up, limits and possibilities.
