At the Expressive Arts Collective, we believe music is a universal language that unites people. We provide students with a well-rounded musical education that fosters creativity, teamwork, and cultural awareness. Guided by passionate, professional instructors, students grow in skill and confidence within an inclusive and supportive environment—whether they dream of a career in music or simply want to deepen their love of the arts.

Program Expectations
Rehearsal Time
Schools provide consistent rehearsal time within the weekly schedule to ensure student success and program impact.
Rehearsal Space
A spacious, obstacle-free room (e.g., multipurpose room, gym, or large classroom) is required for safe movement and choreography.
Program Lead
A designated liaison, alongside the Principal or organization leader, is essential to the program’s success. This individual will:
Facilitate student sign-ups and auditions
Manage contracts and paperwork
Be present or available during rehearsals
Support performance logistics
Attendance
Consistent attendance is vital. Students are expected to attend all rehearsals; absences must be communicated in advance to the EAC teaching artist. Excessive absences may impact performance eligibility.
