At The Front Porch, we're more than just a music school. We connect people through music. Our focus on music education extends outside of the walls of our Charlottesville location and into the heart of the city through our Roots and Wings outreach program. Our intimate listening room venue hosts concert experiences that will change your life.
And our open jam program draws players from throughout Central Virginia. A little bit cheaper, a little bit louder, our group lessons bring energy and fun to learning music. We'll have you playing together by the end of the first class! Ain't no party like a Front Porch party. Bring your friends and dig in with renowned artists, or join a community jam where all musicians are welcome.

About
Report
Our story began on an actual porch in 2015. The porch has become an important touchstone for us: a place where people gather to visit, relax, tell stories, and share music. It symbolizes community in its most organic sense. The Front Porch began in the home of local educator Emily Morrison in 2015, and soon found its home in downtown Charlottesville.
