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.

“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.”

“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.”

“[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.”

“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.”

    with Shane Des Enfants

    Wednesdays, 4-6 pm

    Join us to learn guitar, bass, or ukulele in a welcoming and flexible learning environment for beginning and intermediate students. In addition to learning songs, students will gain a number of essential technical skills on their instrument while learning the historical context of the music. We'll explore blues, jazz, folk and American roots music, uniquely weaving basic music theory concepts, interactive song learning, and social music playing, with an emphasis on improvisation and soloing. Through the selected repertoire, you'll learn hidden or obscure stories of musicians and artists of color who greatly influenced American popular music, as well as the historical and social context of each song and composer.

    For youth who are committed to showing up, practicing on their own, and willing to keep trying when the going gets tough!

    No need to bring an instrument, but an open mind, patience with yourself, and a commitment to learning are essential.

    Guitar, Ukulele, Bass: Beginner to Intermediate (Formerly Guitar Hangs)
    with Shane Des Enfants

    Wednesdays, 4-6 pm

    Join us to learn guitar, bass, or ukulele in a welcoming and flexible learning environment for beginning and intermediate students. In addition to learning songs, students will gain a number of essential technical skills on their instrument while learning the historical context of the music. We'll explore blues, jazz, folk and American roots music, uniquely weaving basic music theory concepts, interactive song learning, and social music playing, with an emphasis on improvisation and soloing. Through the selected repertoire, you'll learn hidden or obscure stories of musicians and artists of color who greatly influenced American popular music, as well as the historical and social context of each song and composer.

    For youth who are committed to showing up, practicing on their own, and willing to keep trying when the going gets tough!

    No need to bring an instrument, but an open mind, patience with yourself, and a commitment to learning are essential.

     

    Youth Tuition (ages 10-25) is $100 for the 10-week course. Need-based scholarships available.

    Adult Tuition (ages 26+) is $400 for the 10-week course. Need-based scholarships available.
