The Music Compound – now with locations in Sarasota (1751 Cattlemen Road) and Manatee (4740 SR 64 East) counties – provides an environment to inspire, collaborate and educate children and adults in pursuit of their love of music. Private and group lessons are available on a wide variety of instruments – including guitar, bass, piano, drums and vocals – as well as programs such as Kidz Rock (ages 4-7), Junior Rockers (ages 8-11), ukulele and guitar groups (ages 8-12), the Musical Theatre Program (ages 7-14), Songwriting Series (ages 15+), Adult Jam Sessions, the Gulf Coast New Horizons Music program for adults ages 50+, and more.

“The arts have a powerful impact on everyone but especially school-age children; music programs encourage teamwork, enhance listening skills, boost confidence, relieve stress, and heighten language development, mental processing and socialization skills, among other benefits,” said Music Compound owner Jenny Townsend. “At Music Compound, it’s not just about learning how to play music or forging a professional career in music – our members enjoy personal growth, and gain confidence and skills that they’ll carry throughout their lives.”
