Come move, connect, and make some joyful noise!

This energizing class provides a welcoming environment to explore rhythm through group drumming.

Drumming in a group has powerful benefits: it supports physical coordination, relieves stress, sharpens focus, and boosts mood. It also builds community, encouraging connection, listening, and collaboration. 

Instruments are provided, or feel free to bring your own.

A low-pressure evening of music-making! Each session features a different hit song from the last 50+ years of pop music. Whether you know the tune or not, our  instructors will guide you through learning the melody and harmony parts step-by-step. By the end of the night, we’ll sing the full song together in  2- or 3-part harmony.

Group singing has been shown to boost mood, reduce stress, and create a sense of belonging—plus, it’s just plain fun. Pop-Up Choir is a great way to connect with others, build confidence, and experience the joy of shared musical expression.

Enjoy a relaxed atmosphere and complimentary snacks and beverages.

2026 Sessions TBD

Join us for a jam session where the setlist is up to you. Dive into classic rock, folk, and country favorites, and bring your own song suggestions. This is a space to connect, collaborate, and play music in a creative environment.

Bring your own instrument or use one of ours: we’ve got a full setup including a drum kit, auxiliary percussion, acoustic and digital piano, synthesizer, electric and acoustic guitar, microphones, amps, and a mixing board.

We can provide lead sheets on request, but there’s no need to read music to participate. Just bring your ears, your skills, and your love of playing.
