Sound Factory Students take the stage to rock, backed up by our house band of professional musicians comprised of studio teachers!  Our regular Open Mic Jam series is staged at various "club" venues in KW, real music venues on a real stage, with a real audience! 

Jams on hold during COVID-19.

Spring and Winter Concerts
​Concert Dates TBD (we're monitoring the public health conditions in our community as we consider our plans for large concerts).

We regularly expect to welcome a marquee showcase of over 150 young musicians performing throughout the afternoon.  All are welcome to come and support the performers, and we look forward to seeing parents, siblings, extended family and friends!
​Concerts are organized courtesy of the Sound Factory Music School and are free to attend for all who wish to be a part of this great day.

The Sound Factory Music School presents two student concerts per year.  Watch for details about the next dates in the fall. 

Welcome!

We'd like to wish a warm welcome to the newest members of our team - Douglas Scott (flute), Mike Rajna (drums), Jo Gong (piano)  Caitlin Taylor (piano), and Blair Scanling (brass).

Jeanette Bauman - Piano

July 2021.  Jeanette was a gifted pianist, and a wonderful, warm, caring teacher with decades of experience who was able to connect on a very personal level with her young students.  She was a member of our team for only a short time, but we're grateful for having had the time with her.
