Hello Springfield (and surrounding communities)!

We have some LIFE-CHANGING news to share. Some of you may know who we are, while others are just finding out.
MOST of you don’t know THIS.

SCARA has decided to provide a completely FREE musical arts education to our entire community. LET ME REPEAT THAT. We are giving away a free music education to every person who walks through our doors.
We have officially decided to go completely donation-based and would like to invite you to become a part of our movement:
To improve the quality of our entire community.

Please join us for classes, lessons, and even audition to build a studio ensemble with us. For absolutely no charge.
We welcome you to donate what you can (whether it be a monetary donation or volunteering to help… or both!).
This way you can focus simply on your musical arts education.

We can’t wait to meet you!

-Corey and Kali

P.S. We are a 501-(c)(3) NPO. This means that you can use any donation to our school as a write-off on your taxes 😉
