The Club's music programming centres around building opportunities for youth to grow their confidence as creators and consumers of music. Through our state-of-the-art studio and our in-house developed programming, we're fortunate to be in a position to work with youth in group and one-on-one settings.

The bulk of our focus is currently on our "Music-Makers" programming, facilitated by our Music Program Supervisor, Warren Frank (Lead Singer/Songwriter for Heaps/The Kents). 

To date we have created a songwriting program as well as a music-production program that marry the technical aspects and terminology of music creation with the vulnerability and exploration that is essential to creating original art.

Additionally, many of our after-school attendees are keen young musicians, so our drop-ins are usually home to a few jam sessions or drum lessons in the studio.

As we go forward, we're keen to utilize our studio and resources as an accessible, safe community hub for creative expression and personal growth. We believe we have the opportunity to positively impact young creators and we're always open to community ideas/collaboration!
