The Asheville Arts Centeris a school based on unlimited opportunities for students to explore their interests in music, dance and drama. They offer a variety of classes, including everything from Ballet, Jazz, and Hip Hop Dance Lessons to Children’s and Adult’s Theater collaborations. They even offer a creative arts preschool for the younger generations.

I personally recommend their Kindermusik program.

“Kindermusik® is a music and movement program for newborns up to age 7. Kindermusik® is a great opportunity to be a part of a child centered and age appropriate program that creates musical children by letting them explore all the possibilities that surround them.”

The Asheville Arts Center also brings you high-quality instructions on a variety of instruments that are student centered with a focus on individual learning styles. You will have access to group instructions, recitals and a great performance space! Lessons in Bass, Guitar, Violin, Piano and other instruments are available.

Check out their “Parent’s Night Out” program every 2nd and 4th Friday night. Now this is Very Cool for the whole family!

With two locations, the Asheville Arts Center is conveniently located. One location is at 308 Merrimon avenue just a few blocks down the street from Claxton Elementary School and directly across the street from Musicians Workshop. The second location is in South Asheville just off Hendersonville Road behind Quiznos.
