Every time I walk through the doors of Fort Bend Music Center, they’ve added something new and exciting. Did you know they hold open mic nights, music workshops, and screenings of “music-themed movies”…all free and open to the community? Stay in the loop by “liking” Fort Bend Music Center on Facebook and visiting their website to sign up for their e-newsletter. Ashley Cochran, Accounts Manager says, “We’re always adding new events to showcase our teachers’ interests and express our love of music. We also have a new face on board! Look for my sister Lindsey (now with the Lessons Department) at the front desk when you come in!”

Why not take the plunge and become part of the Fort Bend Music family this summer? President of Fort Bend Music Center, Rick Cochran, says,“Our popular summer music camp is a great place to start!” Campers ages 7 through teens get the first five lessons in voice, guitar, percussion, and piano. Over the two and a half hours of camp they’ll move from station to station. Essentially, each camp is like getting the first month of lessons in three different instruments plus voice!

What about the younger crowd? Kids ages four through six enjoy five days of one hour music camp madness. Campers will learn piano, singing, and rhythm…while developing their love of music! Lindsey says, “Kids are used to working in groups at school and playing on teams, so group music lessons make sense to them…plus they make it exciting and fun!”

Don’t wait to register for camp. Class size is limited and spaces fill up fast! Renee Massey, Fort Bend Music Center’s Lessons Desk Manager says, “Kids get so fired up by summer camps, that the new beginner group classes fill up fast! Look for new group classes in August! Camp is a great foundation…and a wonderful way to experiment with something new!”
