Songwriting & Recording Classes

Ensemble/Band Program

Students have the opportunity to become involved in the ensemble/band program.

This program runs separately from individual lessons and introduces students to another important aspect of instrumental performance.

Students that participate in this program spend time on ensemble material during their own lesson when needed. This program is conducted in relation to needs and generally for the advancing students.

Special lessons can be conducted during school hours or in an after school situation (depending on the needs and availability of the students involved).
