We're a 501(c)(3) nonprofit bringing hands-on music education, recording, and live performance to Eastern Sierra youth. Based in Bishop, CA. built by this community, for this community.
Education & Lessons
From first chords to full recordings, our youth music programs meet students exactly where they are. We offer one-on-one and group lessons in guitar, bass, drums, keys, voice, and more. Taught by local musicians who know this community. No experience necessary, just the desire to learn.
Live Performance
Music education means nothing without an outlet. Our students perform live at community events, local venues, and cooperative showcases throughout the year, building real confidence and real experience in front of real audiences. The stage is part of the curriculum.
Recording & Production
Students in our production program learn the full creative process of recording, mixing, and releasing their own music using professional tools. We cover everything from mic placement to marketing, giving students skills that extend far beyond the studio. No experience required, just curiosity and a willingness to create.
Venue & Studio
Our space is built for the community. A dedicated home for lessons, rehearsals, recording sessions, and live performance. Whether you're a student picking up an instrument for the first time or a local musician looking for studio time, our doors are open. Come make something.
