Leadership Team
Our teaching staff include a mix of active teachers and performers who bring diverse experiences to share with our students. Teachers in the community recognize that our engaging and high quality staff and inspiring repertoire choices help foster a strong sense of identity in young musicians. Our students work with expert teaching artists to polish their technical skills and dig into the joys of music-making, all in a social setting.
