Music Programs + Bach to Rock at the JCCGW

The JCCGW School of Music offers exceptional music education to students age 4 to adult, of all abilities and backgrounds. We offer children and teens the opportunity to develop musical and instrument-specific creative skills. We provide adults with the chance to fulfill a dream of playing an instrument or returning to an instrument that they once played.  Our goal is to enhance students’ creative expression and capacity while fostering a lifelong appreciation of music.
