Program Goals

We offer a creative, fun, encouraging and supportive environment for young musicians to discover their own unique talents.
We inspire musicians at all levels of experience and ages to explore their own creativity and develop their self-expression in an area of musical interest.
We provide a solid foundation in musicianship, a strong basis for music making and offer a positive framework for ongoing development of individual talent.

We support our students to:

Make music — to experience and enjoy their own talents and creative output while increasing their abilities to play and perform.
Get the know-how to go from the garage to centre stage — the fundamentals of forming a band.
Have a well-rounded exposure to the basics of the music biz.
Learn the fundamentals of stage performance — including body movement, voice range and projection, stage presence, keeping an audience, handling a mic and maneuvering on stage.
Learn the value of teamwork in a supportive group.
