Time to Plant Musical Seeds

Registration is underway at The Art Place and Draisen Edwards Music Center for spring classes.

Registration is underway now at two locations in East Cobb offering Musik to Grow classes that nurture musical talents and aspirations in children.  Spring classes begin later this month at The Art Place Mountain View and the Draisen Edwards Music Center, with both lasting through mid-May.
