Music Makers offers a number of group lessons and classes where students engage in a musical experience that is fun and creative in an informal, non-competitive atmosphere.

Group Keyboard Classes for Children serve as introduction-to-piano courses and are offered for two different age groups. Group piano classes are a fun, interactive way for young children to be exposed to beginning musical concepts in an active and social environment. No prior experience is necessary. Students need a keyboard or piano for home practice.

Group Voice Classes are offered for beginning singers focusing on building a strong foundation of musicianship and vocal technique. No prior singing experience is necessary.

Group Guitar Classes will expose students to the fundamentals of guitar playing. Students will be introduced to music reading, chord symbols, and fingerpicking techniques.

Group Violin Classes are supplemental classes. All students enrolled in these classes must have one-year experience in private lessons. Music Makers students who are enrolled in both private and group violin classes during the same semester will receive a 10% discount on their total tuition.

History of Drumming: Style and Interpretation classes focus on drumming in various genres of music from jazz to rock to hip hop, as well as the drummers/percussionists that have made a tremendous impact in all of the diverse areas of music. Students will learn different styles and techniques and how to apply them.

The following classes are currently offered (students may enroll at any time during the session; fees will be prorated):
