Root yourself in the Layers of Your Heritage
In every program, we help students reflect and learn to see themselves more clearly. Interwoven with music lessons, our check-in questions and assignments give students new ways to understand themselves as people of culture.
Your ethnicity and your other visible identity markers reflect just a few layers of your heritage. The land you’re raised on, the communities that raise you, and the cultures you are drawn to study or absorb are also vital parts of you.
Learn music as a social skill
Youth
Our programs at King St. Station center youth ages 10-25, but we offer in-school programs for K-12 as well!
Grown Folks
Our Face the Music program is a great place to start, we are building a multi-generational community!
Public Jams
We host monthly jam sessions each month at different locations in Seattle!
“We’re not just playing music, we’re actually learning and changing how people think about things, changing how the world works.”
Ari
“I developed my ability to think critically about race, to talk openly and vulnerably with my peers, and to examine my whiteness and privilege and how they play out in my own music appreciation and career.”
Andy Ferguson
“I am so grateful for the opportunity for Ari to have an outlet artistically and inlet culturally, the flow of it is something that I couldn’t do myself.”
Tana
“[the program] gives you tools to learn about your own heritage and also about . . . the American experience through music. But also not just music-centered, [they] encouraged that you look into food, dance, and other elements of culture, encouraged to talk to elders and learn about where your family came from.”
Sam
“It is a community where you can go and play music, learn music, and take part in a supportive and nurturing community and be welcomed whatever that part might look like, it’s always there for you.”
