The original summer program offered by Music for the Sake of Music, the Community Program Instrumental Track is open to all members of the Green Bay community and surrounding areas. Students in the Instrumental and Traditional Beginner Tracks will study a musical instrument in a private lesson every day with one of our Teaching Artists. For our experienced students, the progress made during this time is unparalleled; for our beginners, the instrument ceases to be a challenge to overcome as it becomes a tool with which to make music.
These tracks are open to students entering 5th grade through Adult.
