After-school activity partners will be onsite with program information as well.

"As parents consider their options for school-year activities, we hope they will consider musical enrichment for their students," Music Compound owner Jenny Townsend said. "Our programs, including lessons for kids, Kidz Rock and band performance opportunities for area youth, help students to grow musically and socially. They encourage team building, boost confidence, and build performance skills, all of which benefit children whether they aspire to be professionals in the field or not."
The Music Compound – now with locations in Sarasota and Manatee counties – provides an environment to inspire, collaborate and educate children and adults in pursuit of their love of music. Private and group lessons are available on a wide variety of instruments as well as programs such as Kidz Rock, Junior Rockers, the Musical Theatre Program, Songwriting Series, Adult Jam Sessions, the Gulf Coast New Horizons Music program for adults ages 50-plus, and more.
