August 22, 2017 by ryanreardon

We are opening our doors for a week of FREE mini music lessons, open rehearsals, a guitar effects hands-on workshop, a Music Theory 101 workshop/class, and more. Best of all, it’s for music fans of all ages – you don’t even have to be a student!

Full Schedule

All events are at Asheville Music School, 126 College St., unless otherwise noted

Ongoing: 15-minute mini lessons, by appointment

Call (828) 252-6244 or email info@ashevillemusicschool.org to schedule a mini lesson on the instrument, or voice, of your choice. These are great for beginners, and also musicians that are in need of new inspiration in their practice.

Open to adults and kids ages 14 and up. Led by AMS teacher Bob Strain.
