Founded in 2000, the Passim School of Music offers classes, master classes, workshops, and private lessons to adults in an engaging and informal setting. The School of Music at Club Passim is an open and highly creative environment that encourages students to excel beyond their ability and truly hone their craft. Part of the Passim mission is to create and encourage a vibrant music community, and the school is a fundamental part of this mission.

PASSIM SCHOOL OF MUSIC MOVES ONLINE!

We are now offering both IN-PERSON and ONLINE classes. IN-PERSON classes require students to present proof of vaccination. ONLINE classes are available to everyone.

For ONLINE classes, you’ll need a few things to get started:
– an internet connection
– a computer, laptop or smartphone with a camera and microphone
– a video conferencing app (your instructor will share which one they will be using)

If you have any questions, please reach out to Rachel at rachel (at) passim (dot) org.
