  • Arts+ workshops provide the opportunity to explore unique music and arts opportunities that are not typically covered in lessons, such as master classes, songwriting sessions, genre studies, exploratory making and more. Our workshops allow students to expand on the skills they are already developing in their private lessons and take their training to the next level.

  • Programs Plus provides outstanding arts education to Charlotte students in a group setting like schools and other organizations. While some programs take place in our central location, we also offer “on-the-go” programs that can be transported to classrooms around the city. By bringing transformative arts education to existing classrooms, we help ensure that students of all ages, skill levels and socioeconomic backgrounds can tap into the irreplaceable benefits of arts education, including critical thinking skills, problem-solving and creativity. We strive to make arts education convenient and accessible for students, so they will be encouraged to continue exploring their budding artistic interests.
