THE BASICS
THE MENTORS
Mentors Isabella, Sean, Zanny, and Valery
|
A group of dedicated musicians, the mentors are talented students at the Santa Susana and Simi High Schools. Each of them specializes in a particular instrument, and they all have an array of musical knowledge and a love for inspiring kids. They are assisted by two Boys and Girls Club staff members who are also trained musicians.

THE MEETINGS
At every meeting, members ages 6-12 are able to play the piano, the guitar, the ukulele, the drums, or a handheld percussion instrument with guidance from a mentor. The basics of vocal music such as harmony and rhythm are also introduced. Each week, a guest artist is brought in to perform, answer questions, and introduce a new genre of music. Guest artists include pop vocalist Olivia Vargas, pianist/singer Sean Weisman, and myself.
