All San Jose, CA area students in grades 4-12 are invited to join us to learn to play a musical instrument. The lessons are free and most students can borrow an instrument free-of-charge from our program, but families must provide a portable music stand, instruction book and supplies (recorders, reeds, etc.) The price of admission is commitment: Students must attend on time every week, with all of their supplies.

The instruments we teach are: Recorder (beginners), Flute, Clarinet, Trumpet, Saxophone or Trombone (students choose one instrument to play.)
WE DO NOT TEACH GUITAR, DRUMS, VIOLIN OR PIANO.
We meet every Friday afternoon at
Almaden Hills United Methodist Church, San Jose
1200 Blossom Hill Road (by Costco/Whole Foods)
In addition to beginning lessons , we offer Intermediate/Advanced band for students who already play an instrument proficiently and would like to join us for extra fun group practice time.
Here is our schedule for group lessons on Fridays:
Beginning grades 4-6: 4-4:30pm
Beginning grades 7-12: 4:30-5pm
Intermediate : 5-5:30 pm
Advanced: 5:30-6pm
Does your student have previous musical experience? We will place most (4th-6th grade only) new students in the beginning classes and make adjustments within the first few weeks if their skill level is consistent with the advanced levels. We prefer to move students up in levels, not down, so please be patient with our placements.
Please review our rules/requirements for our program and make sure that your student is willing and able to follow these expectations before signing up.
