Group Music Classes
Group music classes are a fun and social way to learn a new instrument. Our group classes are 1 hour long and held once a week for 8 to 10 weeks depending on school calendars. Summer group classes are 5 weeks. All of our group classes have a limited number of seats available. We recommend group lessons for beginning and intermediate students. For more advanced players or students who are looking for a full customized learning process we highly recommend private lessons. Our group lessons are partnered with the City of Santee Parks and Rec as well as the Santee School District Foundation. For each student enrolled in a group music class we will donate $10 to the Santee School District Foundation. We are open by appointment only, if you would like to register or pay in person please call 619-212-6656 to schedule an appointment. Click on the classes below to find more information.
