weekly ensemble circles
Three paths to playing
Our rehearsal rooms and shelves belong to the neighborhood. Pick up an instrument, join an ensemble circle, or schedule one-on-one time with resident teaching artists.
Sliding-scale lessons
Open ensemble jams
Instrument lending library
Foundational private sessions in guitar, piano, strings, and percussion. Tuition adjusts to household income with zero paperwork hurdles or invasive income checks.
Weekly mixed-age acoustic circles focused on shared rhythm and collaborative listening. Absolute beginners sit alongside returning players in a pressure-free hall.
Check out tuned violins, brass horns, student keyboards, and folk instruments for home practice. Completely free with renewable three-month loan terms.
Auditions end at the door
We measure musical growth by how closely players listen to their neighbors in the circle, replacing competitive grading with community sound.
