Laurissa Jane Music Performing Arts Program

Laurissa Jane Music Studio was founded in Silver Spring, Maryland in 2011 by our Artistic Director Alice Laurissa Wheeler. Our mission is to provide a foundation for students to explore the exciting world of music and arts! We are dedicated towards building confidence in each student while also helping them to realize their individual talent. The arts motivate our children to dream and to create, to have belief and to have a sense of identity within our rich and diverse culture.

Private Lessons
We provide one-on-one training for students of all ages who are interested in  piano, voice, guitar, bass and drums. Students will explore various styles of music ranging from rock, pop, jazz, hip-hop, country, gospel, blues and classical. 

 Performance Opportunities 

Throughout the year, LJMS host a series of training and practice sessions, larger-format workshops, and recitals to expose our students to the best performance opportunities. It is our policy to serve students in their own communities-offering master classes and recitals in neighborhood schools, retirement communities, local churches and homes.

 Summer Arts Camp-Queens 

In 2013 LJMS piloted its first six week Summer Arts Camp to great success. 7 years later the program has grown to 30 students. With a unique combination of intensive study, group practice, and culminating in a final summer performance, our program encourages students to explore and practice in the areas of musical theater.  Students have performed: Annie Jr., Willy Wonka Jr., Beauty and the Beast Jr., Seussical Jr., and Into the Woods Jr.

The LJ Music Performing Arts After School Program offers a creative space for students to reach a higher  level of learning music, performing, and giving back to their communities. We provide workshops in Musical Theater, Dance, Voice and Instrumental Music.  Students will have a chance to perform throughout the month to help boost confidence and prepare for major concerts. 

Your support will help expose our students to wider array of opportunities in NYC. These classes and performances are created to increase our students confidence, creativity, and ability to express themselves in the arts and will keep art programs like ours going strong. Any donation will be tax deductible. 

We are truly grateful for your support.

THANK YOU!!
