Covid update: We are offering some lessons on-site in limited numbers, by appointment. Email admin@myorch.org for more information. Masks and temperature checks will be required. We care very much about the safety of our students and teachers!
We are retooling our programming to fit the needs of our new era. We will still be offering some group lessons, but will be focusing on private, mostly virtual instruction in orchestral instruments, as well as voice, guitar, recorder, ukulele and art.
Thanks in part to a grant from the Alabama State Council on the Arts, we are offering help to our families, lending technological support and helping to procure devices, to make online lessons possible and more enjoyable.
Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have a need.
Registration for the Scrollworks Fall Semester will continue through Sept. 11 where teachers have openings. Please email about cello openings.
Scrollworks is offering "pay what you can" lessons this semester!
Our normal, now suggested fee is only $80 for 12 weeks of lessons.
As our children grew, so did our vision. After learning their basics, many Scrollworks students graduate to performing ensembles.
We offer several performing ensembles to both new and returning students. Certain prerequisite skills must be demonstrated and a placement audition is required.
Our ensembles:
Magic City Youth Orchestra
Metropolitan Youth Orchestra
Chamber Winds
Chamber Strings
After Hours Orchestra
Percussion Ensemble
Recorder Ensemble
Youth Choir
Children's Choir (no audition required)

On June 4, the Alabama State Council on the Arts awarded $517,900 in CARES funding at its quarterly meeting in Montgomery to aid the arts industry recovery effort in Alabama. Scrollworks was chosen as one of the beneficiaries of this emergency grant.
Carnegie Hall’s Weill Music Institute (WMI) supports PlayUSA, a program that supports a wide range of instrumental music education projects across the United States, all specifically designed to reach low-income and underserved students on a local level.
The VSA Music for Every Student program provides students with disabilities the opportunity to develop their musicianship. The program focuses on hands-on skills associated with instrumental, vocal or choral practice or performance, and/or on music appreciation.
