More than notes on a page
Most ensembles teach you to play your part. Genesis teaches you to listen for everyone else's too.
If you've got a child who taps out rhythms on the kitchen table and lights up at the sound of a trumpet, Genesis Band at Third Note is where that spark becomes real music. This beginner-friendly program meets weekly, giving young students a safe, supportive, and well-structured place to learn their first instrument.Your child will explore a range of repertoire and come away not just a better player, but a better listener and musical team player.
How the program works
Genesis Band is made for beginners, so there's no need to worry if your child has never played before. Most of our students are picking up a band instrument for the very first time, or have only just started lessons on the instrument they've chosen.
All they need is a little enthusiasm and a willingness to try. With small groups, a friendly atmosphere, and a teacher who has spent years nurturing children at exactly this stage, it's a safe and welcoming space for those very first notes — and, before long, that first real piece of music played with friends.
We welcome musicians of all backgrounds and school affiliations! We offer tailored programs for students aged 7 and above, as well as dedicated adult classes.
To best support learning and musical growth, our classes are divided into Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced groupings. For your convenience, students can also loan instruments for home practice or secure exclusive use of an instrument during ensemble classes.
