Music Encounters Weekends
About Music Encounters
In 2002 Augustana Arts established the Music Encounters program which offers hands-on instrumental music opportunities on violin & ukulele to children and adults from under-resourced communities in the Denver metropolitan area. The program brings instrument instruction and music therapy-based small group sessions to children and adults, helping them to attain their goals by teaching self-discipline, developing self-confidence, and fostering in them an identity of success.
Music Encounters programs encourage a love of music, but more importantly, they offer a supportive environment for participants to:
develop discipline by establishing patterns of practice.
increase self-esteem through achievement of a difficult skill.
foster connection to their community.
explore and grow social-emotional skills and improve overall mental health.
Information for parents and caregivers
