Our students benefit from musical enrichment working with professional musicians in the field! These are photos from our in-house workshops.

"Birth of the Switch Players"
2016-2017
Before Mike came along, no one played more than one instrument. That all changed after this workshop as he inspire many of our young players to take up doubles. Now, seeing a "switch" player (a player that can play more than one instrument) is quite common place in our music program.
