Programs & Summer Camps
More Than Just Music: Discover Your Ensemble
At Garrett Music Academy, we believe that while music starts in a private lesson, it truly comes to life in a group. Our programs and camps are designed to take students beyond the sheet music and into a world of collaboration, creativity, and lasting friendships.
Whether it’s a week-long summer intensive or a seasonal performance ensemble, our group settings provide a safe, high-energy space for musicians to find their rhythm together. From building stage presence to mastering the art of the “jam,” we help students turn their individual practice into a shared masterpiece.
Music Interventions: Empowering Every Journey
We believe music is for everyone. Our personalized music interventions provide a patient, judgment-free space for students who thrive with a more tailored approach. Whether it’s modified techniques or a slower pace, we focus on building confidence and meeting every student exactly where they are—one note at a time.
Key Benefits Include: Emotional Regulation, Executive Functioning, Social Connection, Motor Skill Development, Confidence & Agency
Let’s build a plan together.

Find Your Voice: The Art of Self-Expression
Your story deserves to be heard. Find Your Voice is a creative sanctuary where music becomes your medium for self-expression. From the first line of a lyric to the final beat of a track, we help you transform your internal world into something tangible and powerful.
Why Find Your Voice?
We created this program as an antidote to the noise of modern life. It’s more than a class; it’s a creative outlet designed to help you navigate anxiety, depression, and social pressure by reclaiming your narrative through the power of music.
