    • WHO ARE WE FOR?

      All Instruments   All Levels   All Perspectives

      Our legacy is our participants and their successes.

      Independence with constructive direction is the key to artistic freedom.

      Our mandate is to guide participants to activate their own development.

       

      Information cannot be owned... but it's our job to help manage it.

      This program is for the artist who wants to learn everything.

      We are not making money off of independent artists.

      We do the opposite to try to create work for you.
