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 Saturday Oct 17 from 1-4pm 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 on Nov 14 at 1pm where Recording Artist Ensemble students perform their original songs and collaborations for family and friends.
