Chelsi Madonna School of Music

Happy Pride Month! 🌈🏳️‍⚧️🪩

In case you didn’t know, Chelsi Madonna School of Music is proudly q***r owned and operated. We believe that everyone can learn to sing, and we welcome every voice.

Lessons here are safe, supportive, and inclusive, and we are so proud to have an environment that welcomes our students to explore their potential and develop their skills however they feel comfortable.

Music brings people together, and our community choirs show just how important that space is. If you want to learn more about .quoir or Day Quoir head over there, and if you want to take a lesson at the studio, head to the link in our bio!
