When you join a Belzer Performing Arts Music class you are joining a family. Our Band, Orchestra and Choir work closely together to give all of our students a complete performance experience. Students are held to high expectations and their creativity is fostered through performance, innovation and technology. The Belzer Performing Arts Music classes will include the use of music technology to enhance student performance, creativity, collaboration and composition using 21st century skills.
You do not need previous experience to join our Performing Art Classes. Our staff will teach you everything you need to know from how to open your instrument case or how to sing in tune all the way to how to perform on the big stage! Maybe you want to be the next Beyonce, maybe your heart is set on the cello, maybe someone you know plays the trumpet and you want to try it too, or maybe you just want to try something new with a friend! No matter what you are looking for, the Belzer Performing Arts have a place for YOU.
