New Fall Classes and Workshops
Registration is open for music and art programs starting Sept. 3, and we’ve added many new ways to get involved. Here are just a few — let’s try something new together! On the art side, we’re offering a fun Alebrije Workshop for ages 8 and up, Collage & Mixed Media for adults, and a special six-week class for ages 8-11 that’s all about Drawing Animals! If you’re an aspiring vocalist, come join our new Community Choir for ages 18 and older. If studying music theory is on your to-do list, Theory Lab is a new interactive way to learn that students are enjoying. Grab a copy of our print catalog or take a look online to explore more. |

Now Enrolling for Fall Private Music Lessons
Music students, we’re looking forward to the fall semester of Private Music Lessons and have rolled out a new payment plan option! Students enrolled by the start of the semester may now divide tuition across up to four installments. We hope the payment plan makes high-quality music instruction more affordable and improves access to the arts. Learn more.
