To foster community involvement SAM has implemented satellite music lesson programs in the following local schools. At each satellite location, experienced teachers provide individual and semi-private or group instruction, at affordable rates. These lessons are taught before, during or after regular school hours and provide support to the school’s established general music and instrumental programs.
