PARENT-STUDENT ORIENTATION 🤘

Last week we continued our tradition of holding Parent-Student Orientations before the semester officially starts. The meetings went beyond sharing information. We shared a meaningful experience with our families by having parents and students come together for a hands-on drumming activity that invited them to hop on the drum kit and rock-out together. 🥁

This moment offered families a glimpse into what our students experience in our program each week, created a space for connection, and encouraged everyone to get out of their comfort zone to try something new and unexpected. The night was filled with smiles, laughter and so much fun. We are beyond excited to begin another semester of growth, music, and shared experiences! 🍂

🎶 Introducing BR3M-K6! 🎶

Born out of the Turner Foundation Music & Imagination Program (TFMI), BR3M-K6 is one of Santa Barbara’s newest up-and-coming youth bands. We couldn’t be more proud of how far they’ve come!

Their journey started as young students learning the fundamentals of music through TFMI. Over time, they found their individual voices, built friendships, grew as musicians, and came together to create a sound that’s uniquely their own.

BR3M-K6 is ready to bring their energy, creativity, and love of performing to the stage. And this is just the beginning…

Catch BR3M K6 live at INDY40FEST, celebrating the Santa Barbara Independent’s 40th Anniversary! 🎉

📍 El Presidio de Santa Barbara 🕦 11:30 AM

Come catch the set, show them some love, and be part of the beginning of their journey!

Huge shoutout to RollnRock805 and Santa Barbara Independent for helping make their band debut possible!

🏖️TFMI BEACH DAY! 😎

What better way to wrap up summer than a day at the beach with our teens?! We BBQ’d, played games, laughed, relaxed, and soaked up some Santa Barbara sunshine. ☀️

This day was all about creating space for our students to strengthen their bonds and grow their connections as peers. These are the young musicians who will be learning, playing, and creating music together, so we love giving them opportunities to connect beyond the studio! A sweet way to close out summer and carry those connections into the new semester. 🍂

Stay tuned for some fun updates…👀
