Open Measures for All

Music opens doors

— and we want everyone to walk through them! Open Measures for All sets aside a portion of every tuition to support lessons for students who might face barriers. By learning with us, you’re not just growing as a musician — you’re helping create a more inclusive, vibrant musical community.

How it Works

  • Lessons are grounded in technique and theory, with plenty of room for self-expression — covering voice, guitar, piano, bass, songwriting, and music production.

  • A portion of every family’s tuition is set aside to provide partial or full lesson support for students who face barriers, helping build a more inclusive and creative musical community.

  • Support is available to any student who wants to learn and create.

  • For students who need it: This program is here for you. Let’s start learning, creating and playing music!

FAQ

  • Absolutely! Students get the same choice of lessons and instruments as full-tuition students.

  • Roughly 15% of weekly lessons are dedicated to the program. As our studio grows, we’ll open more opportunities to help even more students!

  • Support is flexible — it can cover full or partial tuition depending on each student’s needs.

  • Just reach out through our contact form — we’ll guide you through the process.

  • Yes, please! Optional donations help us open even more lessons to students who might otherwise miss out.

  • A portion of every full-paying lesson—4 per month at $5 each—is automatically added to the fund. We also match that contribution with our own support. Plus, 100% of any additional donations—like those made on our website—go directly to the fund. These combined resources help provide partial or full tuition for students.
