April/May Spring Workshops
at The Music Emporium
April marks our busiest month of workshops ever in the history of The Music Emporium. We had timely opportunities to score these artists, so we just went for it!!
In the coming short few weeks, we invite you to join us for any of several stellar workshops and concerts featuring some of our favorite musicians and teachers. These events are always enjoyable for all involved - participants, teachers/performers and our staff alike. Everyone comes away enthused about their instrument and with a fresh energy to help focus their playing.
Check out the calendar below, and call us to secure a spot in advance. We look forward to sharing these upcoming evenings with you!!
-TME Staff: Joe, Stu, Yukon, Adam, Ryan, Greg, Ian and Tim
