and so on and so forth

Turns out that not only is Essex home to the Community Music School (see that blog entry here), there is also the Charles Music School.

The front page of their website provides a lovely little bit of information about the school:
"Charles’ Music School offers affordable one-on-one private lessons for guitar, bass, piano, voice, drums, flute, saxophone, trumpet, violin, oboe and clarinet. Half hour private lesson rates are only $25 and you pay by the month so there’s never a long commitment and registration is always free! We also have rentals for most popular instruments and offer a 10% family discount when enrolling more than one family member."

But I'm mainly trying to draw attention to their Adult Music Workshop.

If you play the guitar, bass, drums, keyboard, or can sing, with little to no performance experience then this is the ensemble for you. Heck, you don't even need to know how to read music. 

Charles Domler, the school's owner, leads this group who meet once a week for eight weeks. All materials are provided, this includes drums, amps, cables, music stands, mics, a PA system, and sheet music.

Students not only become more familiar with their instruments, they will also learn to put together a set list, and learn about tempo and how to count basic beats. 

With the end of each eight week duration, the class holds a live performance and each student receives a DVD of the performance.

Cost: $150
Duration: 8 week program – (1) 60 minute class ea. week
Time: Usually starts around 7:30pm
Day of the week: Determined once we have a full group signed up

There’s no registration fee and you won’t pay until we start so call
us at (860)460-9183 and sign up today!

They also have a Group Guitar Workshop, and also a Group Violin Workshop

As if it doesn't get any better, the Charles' Music School also carries new and used instruments and accessories for sale and rentals.
