World Music Percussion Class-  In this class students will work together as a band/ensemble using a variety of instruments and children’s stories from around the world to explore music from a wide variety of styles and cultures.  Imagine everything from Bossa Nova to Indian Ragas, from Calypso to Funk!

In this class students will learn the music and stories of musical heroes such as Pete Seeger and Ella Jenkins, among others, who used the power of music; by ways of voices, instruments, folktales and movement, to bring people together, raise awareness about protecting our planet and countless other social justice issues.  These heroes valued the voices and power of children to bring about change in our world, and we hope through this class that students will learn to recognize their power and use their voices to do great things!

Inspired by Disney’s movie Fantasia from 1940 and fundamental theatre techniques, in this class students will let the music of the world’s greatest stages propel their imaginations to devise theatrical performances based on what they hear, based on how they feel from what they hear….based on the collective story of their imaginations colliding together!

Music Lab with Jinky Nogales:  In this class students will explore music, art and the creative world around us through a scientific lens!  We will use S.T.E.A.M concepts, recycled materials, batteries and more for this creative journey! 

EzraGuitar is a guitar program designed to give kids the opportunity to study with some of the greatest classical guitarists of this generation, while using a method of learning designed especially for them. Our group classes are the core of the EzraGuitar method. These classes are built on the philosophy of Maoz Ezra, that music should be taught in the “language of children” and tailored to their natural abilities. By studying with this method and philosophy, it is our goal that children will connect to music making in a natural and organic way. Through creative games and ensemble work, children will leave each lesson with a sense of accomplishment and musical knowledge that will remain with them as a foundation for any future musical endeavors! (1st of 2 classes)

Students will need their own guitar for class. Click below for EzraGuitar’s full line of high quality, fractional sized guitars for children, our unique return policies, and guitar upgrade services for EG students.

In this class students will explore the music found within language and movement.  “Timing,” on stage is something that is mastered by understanding the unsung rhythm and melodies within the telling of a story.  We will use theatrical styles and methods such as Commedia dell’arte, Mime, Clowning, Improv, Shakespeare and more! Great theatre is achieved when all players work in concert with each other to create a phenomenal symphony of emotion and drama!
