Curriculum

2008 Graduation

Our 2008 class graduation will be held on Friday August 8, 7 p.m. at Harmony Presbyterian Church, 400 East Boardwalk, Fort Collins. The public is invited and the graduates will provide solo and ensemble performances of both original compositions as well as Jazz/Pop standards.

"Because of the small class sizes and the curriculum used, I was able to gain massive amounts of knowledge on my instrument and an all-around understanding of our music system."
