Educational mission The primary goal of our organization is to share the joy of music with the public. Playing music is an activity that can be enjoyed on several levels. On an individual level, music not only provides a powerful expressive tool but it also enhances the relation with one's self and increases patience, self knowledge and confidence.

Socially, we feel that music can serve as a bridge between different age groups, as well as socio-economic strata. Being a universal system of communication, music often brings individuals with various ethnic and linguistic backgrounds together. We want to guide our students in all levels of musicianship according to their goals and needs. Our students perform in a variety of venues such as hospitals, nursing homes and private parties. In order to facilitate a hands-on approach to playing and performing within an ensemble framework, we have brought our youngest students together in a group called The Acoustic Kids. Through this format we are able to offer them the opportunity to perform various types of acoustic music ranging from Irish folk music and Appalachian fiddle tunes to Bluegrass and Dawg music.

All lessons are conducted in a one-on-one format combined with occasional group coaching. Since every student is unique, we place strong emphasis on tuning into each individual's special needs. We feel like the one-on-one setting is the most appropriate one for tending to these needs.
