At Circle of Fifths, musicians don’t just take classes — they explore, experiment, and grow in a space built around creativity, access, and joy. Here’s a glimpse of what happens inside our satellite locations every week:

Dynamic, rhythm-driven sessions that support regulation, body awareness, and healthy music-making. These classes use movement, pulse, and tactile exploration to help musicians connect with their whole selves while staying grounded and expressive.

From cooking basics to social communication to navigating community spaces, these classes help musicians build confidence, independence, and everyday empowerment.
