A Truly Exceptional Start to Music Education I cannot recommend Roots and Wings Community Music School highly enough. As a parent with two children enrolled in violin classes, I have been consistently impressed not only by the quality of instruction but by the school's profoundly positive and thoughtful educational philosophy. The method here is truly the perfect balance—it pairs dedicated 1:1 individual class for personalized technique and attention, with a science-based group approach that fosters ensemble skills and collective learning. This dual structure ensures that while the foundation is strong, the learning process remains engaging and social. What sets this school apart is its amazing vision and commitment to the child. They deeply understand that a great start requires more than just instruction; it requires developing a solid, respectful technique from day one. Their approach is built on positive education, focusing on praising the process rather than just the outcome, which creates a low-pressure, high-growth environment. Every interaction is rooted in respectful learning. Beyond the outstanding instruction, the school fosters a fantastic sense of community. They actively encourage parents to connect and help each other navigate the common challenges of musical education—the discipline required, maintaining consistency, and nurturing a deep, lasting love for music. It’s incredibly valuable to feel supported by both the staff and a network of fellow parents who are all committed to their children's musical growth. Our teacher Ms. Crystal is an absolute gem. She is incredibly patient and kind, possessing a rare ability to meet each child at their current level. She consistently finds creative and effective ways to help my kids engage and genuinely enjoy their time with the violin. Watching them develop confidence and a love for music in such a nurturing atmosphere has been a joy. If you are looking for a music school that prioritizes technique, respect, and a genuine love for learning, this is the place. It's more than a school; it's a foundation for a lifelong musical journey.

We take our daughter to the Music Together class in Corrales. We love our teacher Ms. Terra, and have a lot of fun in class. My daughter will randomly start singing the songs (and so do we) at home. It's a fun time together bonding through music. I registered her for next semester, so we will be back!

We love Music Together! It's so engaging, we love being outside, and it's amazing that the instructors keep the kids captivated for the full session. Their openness to children's freedom of expression while teaching and embedding real musical skills is refreshing.

Great school! Violin class was always fun with Ms. Alyssa. My kiddo enjoyed his first year playing the violin and am surprised how much he has learned. The concert at the end of class was really nice and showcased what he learned throughout the year. Awesome job!

Crystal is an amazing facilitator of this program. She genuinely loved being with us and helping us enjoy our kids while experimenting and having fun with music and instruments. It is always a sweet time of connection for me and my kids when we go to her class. It's also so much fun to meet other people that care about their children and are doing something to get out of the house and learn together in a beautiful environment like a park. Having the music on a CD to listen to throughout the week before the class was helpful and was a fun way to bond with the family too. I highly recommend this experience and it can be beneficial for kids of many ages!
