Musical Ears, Let's fall in love with the art of music!

Through sonic discovery, they will learn fundamental musical concepts such as harmony, rhythm, ear training, and melody while being introduced to music culture and history. Our students will learn to appreciate music at an early age and enjoy its many benefits (artistic, educational, personal, and social) without the frustration of private music lessons. We learn in an interactive play-based group setting.

Our mission is to cultivate musicianship, arts, and culture in our community starting with our kids.

Directed by Latin Grammy Nominated artist and composer, Mr. Gabriel Chakarji and Afterschool Collective Founder Jessica Sims.
