Community Music Classes

Andrea offers both individual and group music classes to the entire community. Students have the option to study voice, piano, elementary folk guitar, and general musicianship. Every lesson is custom designed and individually tailored to meet the student’s needs and motivation. Because music is such an accessible medium, these classes are open to individuals of all abilities. During the lesson, students can learn the skills needed to sing or play and experience the opportunity to work on musicianship- learning to navigate rhythms, generate melodies, co-create harmonies, and experience modulations. The sky is the limit!
