Spring into Music | Spring Workshops at Forte

We are excited to announce a few fun musical workshops taking place at the studio throughout the month of April for students to spring into music! With the two-week studio closure for spring break in March, this gives students the opportunity to set some new musical goals when they return to lessons and have something fun to look forward to. We have come up with some fun classes and workshops with something for each age group!
