Nameless Sound is committed to a vision of personal and community growth through creative music. Creative music is an ideal context to address group awareness, self-awareness, empowerment, vulnerability, and diversity. The skills developed through musical improvisation emphasize listening, creativity, spontaneity, dialogue, and self-expression.

Nameless Sound Youth Ensemble
The Ensemble plays creative music through the process of musical improvisation. Participants may come from any musical background. The process accepts the input of any musical tradition (as well as music that is from no tradition at all). Students of any skill level may participate. The ability to read music is not a prerequisite. Visual artists, poets, actors, and practitioners of other artistic disciplines may participate if they have an interest in performance.

Creative Kids Ensemble
The Creative Kids Ensemble will explore the joy of music making in a fun, positive, and affirming environment. Sound, rhythm, singing, drumming, and musical story-telling will be used to explore coordination, listening, leadership, creativity, group-awareness, and self-awareness. Instruments are provided. Children are encouraged to bring their own instruments as well.

Classes for People with Special Needs
Nameless Sound explores music making for the special needs community. In an encouraging and structured environment, participants will engage in musical exercises that emphasize listening, coordination, peer support, self-expression, self-empowerment, and non-verbal communication. Instruments are provided. Participants are encouraged to bring their own instruments, too.
