GROUP MUSIC CLASSES

Each semester we run evening classes for all ages and after-school classes that support school music programs and provide supplementary music education such as theory and sight-reading. Ensemble playing is a great way to benefit from your interest in music - the evening class semesters always finish with a recital and reception for all students. The Smart Strings and Brass programs are desiged for younger players, all other classes are suitable for all ages (teen through adult).

Recently, IMC faculty prepared an in-school program to introduce elementary school children to music, lessons and classes. Click on the link below for more information:
