Where music meets community.
At The Front Porch, we’re more than just a music school. We connect people through music. Our focus on music education extends outside of the walls of our Charlottesville location and into the heart of the city through our Roots & Wings outreach program. Our intimate listening room venue hosts concert experiences that will change your life. And our open jam program draws players from throughout Central Virginia.

Community Programs
Our free outreach programs bring music education and enrichment out to the people who need it most, enriching the lives of hundreds of children and seniors and strengthening the cultural fabric that unites our city.
“Roots & Wings added a music and movement curriculum to YMCA programming, which we would not have otherwise. The children love it. The teachers love it. The parents love it. It is a win-win-win for all. This is a great example of leveraging organizational expertise to enhance services through collaboration and impact.”
-Jessica Taylor, CEO of the Piedmont Family YMCA
