Develop Your Musical and Artistic Skills

The Blue Ridge Center for Music & Creative Arts provides opportunities for students ages 14 to 23 to work closely with nationally recognized musicians and artists who serve as faculty, role models, and mentors. In addition to providing advanced instruction in core musical and artistic skills, the Center offers workshops in complementary areas such as live performance management, sound engineering, vocals and backup singing, exhibit planning, and general marketing skills such as photography, videography, and personal promotional methods.

Experience Unique Learning Opportunities

Students learn through one-on-one and group practice sessions, workshops, music jam sessions, apprenticing with established artists, and participation in live performances. They have opportunities to exhibit their work, perform on stage with established professional musicians, and form new student bands that may have opportunities to book live performances at area venues.

The Blue Ridge Center for Music & Creative Arts is committed to aiding its students in the development of their musical and creative skills and learning of advanced artistic techniques. Our goal is to prepare them for lifelong involvement and careers in music and the creative arts.
