As part of our Summer Arts Academy the Carr Center is offering FREE introduction to music classes for grades 6 – 8 with Professor Edward Gooch!

These instrumental classes are designed as introductory so no experience is necessary to register and participate. Access to an instrument is required for participating students.

Instruments for use in these classes will be provided, if needed, thanks to the generous support of the Erb Family Foundation.
