About Us
Who we are:
The philosophy of Empowered Music is that ALL students are welcome, celebrated, and encouraged to express their authentic selves through music. Everyone, regardless of perceived “musical ability,” can get started - get better - and keep going! By setting short-term and long-term goals, and evaluating them along the way, you get to define what success looks like for you! We are honored to help you reach your goals.
What we offer:
We are music professionals who provide exceptional, highly-personalized instruction to engage and inspire students of all abilities and ages. Whether your goals are in wellness, performance, or learning something new, we’re excited to support your journey in the classroom and beyond.
Performance opportunities are available for students who are willing and ready to experience “on-the-gig” training in a professional and supportive environment with our passionate music mentors.
We host space for workshops and trainings from music industry topics to health and wellness.

Empowered Music is a safe space for ALL students, and especially our LGBTQ+ community members.
