PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
SONGLAB is an exciting combination of group and individual music-making that is perfect for families with 1st-5th graders who are looking for an effective, low-pressure, and fun music education experience!
Our dynamic after school program gives children access to our modern music education classrooms to learn about the keyboard, music theory, and music composition and production; and to gain experience in group music-making using digital piano, synthesizer, guitar, bass, drums, vocals, and electronic & computer-based recording & live performance tools.
Students are grouped in small, age-appropriate "bands" so that they can enjoy the social aspects of making music with their peers each week, and children of different skill levels can participate together in all of our activities, so no matter what skill level your child is at, we will provide a fun, educational, and inspiring experience for them each week!

If for any reason we are not able to place your child in a band, we will refund your pre-registration fee in full.
