All concerts will be professionally recorded, and choice takes will be selected to appear on a live compilation album titled, The Takoma Sessions.
Doors open at 7pm, and music will start promptly at 7:30pm (90 minute concert followed by a brief wine & chocolate reception).
TICKETS: Each ticket includes admission to the live recording at Tonal Park studio. Admission PLUS tickets include a digital copy of the new album when it is released AND an 11x17 signed event poster, which features original artwork by Kalli Saphos.
Private music instruction with Nicole Saphos & Ele Rubenstein in Takoma Park. All ages and levels welcome!
What is a 'Practice Room'? A practice room can be any space that cultivates sustained focus, creativity, and growth.
During the course of this 6 week session, you can sign up for between 4 - 6 lessons. Pick one area of study, or mix it up! (ex. Lesson 1: voice, Lesson 2: music theory, Lesson 3: songwriting, Lesson 4: guitar). Lessons are taught out of our home in Takoma Park MD, where we currently have three dedicated “Practice Room” spaces.
Prefer we come to you? No problem! If you have a practice room already set up in you home, and prefer we have lessons there, we are happy to come to you. (An additional fee will be added if your practice room is more than 10 min away from Takoma Park).
