White Hall Arts Academy Foundation

The Project MuszEd program which is designed for older youth ages 13-18 offers voice guitar songwriting acting music production and piano classes. Project MuszEd provides relevant culturally responsive arts programming and our music production curriculum provides students the opportunity to engage with music in a non-traditional way that encourages individual student creativity and autonomy. At the culmination of each program students participate in public showcases which provide them with precious performance experiences to display the diverse talents and skills they acquire while in the program. Classes take place at WHAA on Saturdays from 10am - 2pm. There is a 4-week Winter session during the month of February an 8-week Spring from mid-March through mid-May a 4-week Summer session during the month of July and an 8-week Fall session from mid-September through mid-November.
