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.

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.
“Having Front Porch come each week has enriched our children’s learning experience. We have children who have developmental or speech delays that are now dancing and singing more and getting more involved in the classroom! These are huge accomplishments for our children, and we’re so happy to see it!”
-Ms. Kristie, MACAA Head Start preschool teacher

For folks itchin’ to move toward mastery, private classes are the way to go. Whatever your skill level, we’ve got a caring, experienced teacher ready to guide you!

A little bit cheaper, a little bit louder, our group lessons bring energy and fun to learning music. We’ll have you playing together by the end of the first class!
Workshops
The Front Porch occasionally hosts one-off workshops with guest musicians. It’s a perfect opportunity to meet artists, hone specific skills, and expand your repertoire.
