Many school Band programs may be not be up and running this fall, but we know that children and teens benefit mentally and emotionally from participating in the creative and performing arts. Music and the arts help us de-stress and activate our brains and bodies in a completely different way that compliments STEM learning, which is especially important during difficult times.
Private and group lessons are available for kids who need these creative and expressive outlets to THRIVE in their learning environments and may not be getting those same enrichment opportunities at school.

I am:
