Discover the joy of making music in our brand-new after-school Instrument Club!
Each week, children will explore piano, ukulele, drums, and voice through playful, hands-on activities that build confidence, creativity, and a strong musical foundation.
Along the way, they'll develop rhythm, listening skills, teamwork, and stage confidence through games, ensemble playing, and creative music-making.
Throughout the semester, children will also be inspired by visits from Guest Student Artists—older Hootenanny musicians and talented local middle and high school students—who will perform, share what they love about music, and encourage our youngest musicians as they begin their own musical journeys.
The session concludes with a special family concert on December 14 at 4:30pm where Instrument Club musicians will take the stage to celebrate everything they've learned together. All instruments are provided.
No previous musical experience is necessary!

A joyful after-school club for kids who love to imagine, make, move, and put on a show. Each week, Creators Club blends art-making, music, storytelling, drama, movement, and collaborative play into a new creative adventure.
Children might build a tiny cardboard city, invent characters for an original story, create props and costumes, make a band out of unexpected instruments, choreograph a dance, or work together on a mini performance. Along the way, they will practice sharing ideas, trying new things, solving creative problems, and bringing big imaginations to life with friends.
Every session is designed to feel playful and open-ended while still giving kids a chance to build real creative skills and confidence. The semester wraps with a casual Creators Showcase on Dec 9 at 4:30pm for families, featuring a little bit of what the group has made, imagined, and performed together.
No experience needed—just a love of making things and having ideas.

For young musicians ready to take their ideas to the next level, Recording Artist Ensemble combines individual instruction with the excitement of making music as a band.
Each student receives one 35-minute private lesson every week of the semester, tailored to their instrument, voice, skill level, and musical goals. Then, on Fridays from 3:00–4:00 PM, the group comes together for ensemble practice—writing songs, arranging parts, learning how to collaborate, and building toward a full live performance.
Students will explore songwriting, vocals, rhythm, stage presence, and the fun of creating original music with other young artists. Whether they are playing piano, guitar, ukulele, drums, singing, or bringing a new instrument into the mix, every member has a meaningful role in shaping the group’s sound.
As a special part of the semester, the ensemble will spend one Saturday in a recording-studio setting on , working together to lay down an original track and experience the magic of turning a song idea into a finished recording.
The semester culminates in a big final showcase, where Recording Artist Ensemble students perform their original songs and collaborations for family and friends.
Tuition includes weekly ensemble rehearsals, one 35-minute private lesson each week of the semester, and the Saturday recording experience.
