We are a non-profit operating under the umbrella of BACA (Brookings Area Council on the Arts) and as such all donations are tax-deductible.

Some of the teachers available for instruction are Toni Land, voice and performance coach-Carl Rovainen, beginning violin and banjo-Billie Ruth Furuichi, beginning vocals-David DuBois, beginning to intermediate guitar, Ted Erdahl-beginning to intermediate guitar, Jerry Moffit-keyboard.
