Welcome to
The Front Porch
A Nonprofit Dedicated to Connecting All of Us Through Music
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.
We’re seeking volunteers for our Rivanna Roots Concert Series this summer! The time you donate to helps bring the programming of The Front Porch to life, supporting access to music education across Charlottesville.

Roots & Wings
Our outreach program, Roots & Wings, brings music to underserved communities, enriching the lives of hundreds of children and strengthening the cultural fabric that unites our city.
This has been a vital addition to our program and I hope it continues to grow as a way for our students to have different outlets of expression and working with others to build positive friendships through music.
