Ensuring all children can experience the arts through music and performance
Mission

After-school enrichment programs and in-school partnerships bring the arts into schools, with free and discounted after-school classes provided for Title I schools.
Classes and Camps
Pay-what-you-can group classes and camps offer immersive arts experiences for kids. Our offerings include music, theatre, and dance options!
Music Scholarships
Private music lesson scholarships are offered to students through our scholarship program, which helps students access instruction at Mode Music Studios in their chosen instrument.
