Young Winds

In Young Winds, we provide small-group lessons and full band experience to elementary and middle school-age students who have already begun playing woodwind, brass, electric bass, or percussion instruments. We supplement the instruction your child receives in school band programs, strengthening their musicianship in a safe and positive environment.
