Group instruction is a great low-cost way to explore an instrument or music style. 
  • Students make new friends and enjoy the camaraderie of  learning with a peer group. 
  • Rhythm skills are enhanced by staying in time with the rest of the group
  • Music in multiple parts makes learning more fun and satisfying
  • Classes taught by Ron Dunn, who has decades of experience teaching in group settings
