🎸 Stage Presence Band

Performance-Focused Ensemble Training (Ages 8–18)

At Stage Presence, we believe music education should be inclusive, accessible, and fun — no matter your background or skill level. Stage Presence Band is a 12-week program where students apply their private lesson skills in a real ensemble setting and prepare for live performance.
