Times, room, and faculty are from the published 2025-26 Saturday schedule and are rechecked each season.
ITAP sits between the ensembles on a Saturday, so a student can take it without a second trip. It supports the playing rather than replacing a private lesson.

Not sure this is the right fit?
You don’t have to be. Every child auditions so faculty can hear where they are and how they learn, and they are placed where they will thrive. No child is turned away.
