About Robin’s Music Club
Robin’s Music Club offers weekly music classes for kids ages 5-12. Instead of individual private lessons, multiple instruments and fundamentals of music are covered through improvisation, group games, and listening. By playing, creating, and having fun with their peers, students will discover the joy of creating music with others and the creativity that collaboration can inspire.
Why Robin’s Music Club?
Robin’s Music Club offers families an affordable option to try out music lessons, with no instrument or book to buy, no practicing required, and an up to 50% lower price than weekly, private lessons.
