Playing With the Band

Playing With the Band (PWTB)  – began in 2008 and is an ongoing program of Tangled Tones Music Studio.  The goal of the program is to meet individuals where they are on their instrument and help them play in a group setting.  The styles and genres explored by the groups depend on the participants.  The program offers a unique experience to learn to communicate and work as a band with the leadership of a skilled professional musician!
