Building confidence and style as a performer is a challenging yet essential aspect of developing into an artist. At the Lindeblad School of Music we offer a variety of performance opportunities in a positive atmosphere that encourages students to grow as artists and develop their self-confidence. Moving music from the practice room to the stage allows us to communicate our art and expression while enriching our communities and instilling leadership capabilities in young musicians.
