After School Programs
We are always looking for fun ways to engage young people in music and in believing in themselves and their own voice! Since launching after-school music programming in 2023, we’ve been moving in the direction students and families tell us they are most excited to go.
For the 2026-2027 school year, we have THREE after-school offerings: Mighty Music Makers, a fun general music space for 1st-4th graders, hosted at Union Elementary School; Piano Class with Erin, a group piano lesson with options for 3rd-4th graders, and for the 5th-7th graders, and finally, Music Club @ Monteverdi (MC@M), a fresh take creative music studio for 4th-7th graders. **Check out photos, music, and a stop-motion animation video below from prior years’ Music Club @ Monteverdi.
We will always keep digging around to evolve the experiences young people are having in music and art and offer our best in music and fun for our community.

Music Collective @ Monteverdi [MC@M]
Two years ago, guitarist, teacher, and musical mastermind, Matt Delligatti conceived of a music space for kids who’d outgrown need for aftercare, but wanted a place to engage with music and peers between school and home. We called it MODERN MUSIC ENSEMBLE and it was a hit (the Bandcamp songs prove it)!
This year, Ian Bogoslofski, another super creative, cool guitarist, teacher, and artist takes the reins for this middle school music space and has fun plans for the club. We’ll run this in just 2 session (see below) so even busy tweens can jump in and out where their schedules allow.
THURSDAYS. 3:30- 5:00pm | Grades 4-7 | STARTS OCT 29! (+interested 8th graders!) @ Monteverdi Studios at 46 Barre Street
Full Tuition: $33/week; Supported Tuition: $17/week
SESSION I GARAGE ROCK (14 wks) 10.29-2.18
SESSION II GARAGE ROCK (14 wks) 3.4-6.10
Whether you're a newbie on an instrument or have had years of lessons, playing in a group is its own challenge and reward. In a fun, garage rock atmosphere, we’ll practice jamming, listening, improvising, and staying in time with each other; we’ll see where the music leads us, keeping options open for writing, arranging, and recording. All players and singers are welcome here!
** Please Note: while both sessions have the same general content, students are invited to take both as there is infinite room for growth and development here. Two separate sessions also offer good on and off ramps for students doing winter and spring sports.

Mighty Music Makers

We launched the Mighty Music Makers in 3 years ago, with a hearty pilot crew of 18, and we’ve been rocking and rolling ever since! This general music program for 1st-4th graders is based in the music room at Union Elementary School. With deep appreciation to the MRPS district for their space, our faculty lead these tiny musicians through fun, curious, and mysterious musical pursuits. Students need not have any prior music background, just a good attitude and a willingness to listen and try.
