Bantam Studios is bringing booze back for beginner classes this summer! Each class, students will learn the basics on their instruments in a group setting, and learn a piece to play for a recital on Friday, August 22nd. Group classes are held in the instructor’s private studio in Park Slope, are limited to 9 students, and include 2 drinks* (wine + beer) per student each class. *Must be 21+.

Bantam Studios Music Lessons for Adult Beginners was created by Ginger Dolden and Pete Lanctot in 2012 to address the growing needs from their adult private students and to provide the opportunity to many of the people in their community who always “wished they could learn.” Beginner guitar, ukulele, and violin classes are designed for adults who want to join a community of students looking to incorporate music into their lives in a fun and casual environment.

To celebrate 10+ years of booze beginner classes, we’re opening up 10 slots — at 2015 pricing! Use code SUMMEROF2015 for $250 tuition!
