Our Young Adult Group Programs

We offer diverse and engaging programs for ages 13-17, designed to enhance their musical skills and performance abilities. Our classes provide a strong foundation for students who are new to music or those who have been playing since a young age.

Our goal is to empower young adults with a quality music education that will equip them to become lifelong musicians, whether they choose to pursue music professionally, or as a hobby.  Learning music during the teenage years offers many benefits. It provides a creative outlet for self-expression and fosters a sense of individuality. Music-making teaches young adults how to cope with life's challenges. The experience of playing music also helps develop responsibility, patience, and self-discipline, as well as valuable social skills. Join our young adult group program to unlock your students’ full potential as a musician and a confident, well-rounded individual.
