As we step into 2026, we are excited to continue guiding our students through a year filled with creativity, growth, and meaningful musical moments.
At Gilbert School of Music, students do not just learn notes and techniques. They build confidence, express themselves, and discover what they are capable of through music. This year will bring new skills, new challenges, and new opportunities to shine, both during lessons and beyond the studio.
Grateful to be part of your family’s journey.
We are incredibly proud of all our students who performed in our Winter Concert Series this past December of 2025. Each performance reflected dedication, preparation, and growing musicianship.
We also want to recognize our talented coaches who joined select performances, sharing the stage and demonstrating the joy, collaboration, and confidence that live music brings. Together, our performers created memorable moments for families and the community.
A special shoutout to our Christmas Carolers for spreading holiday cheer throughout the Chandler and Gilbert community.
The VIP Performance Program is designed for students who want to take their music beyond lessons through collaboration and real-world performance opportunities. Students work alongside peers on different instruments to play music, create original material, and grow together as a team while building confidence and musicianship.
Past VIP Performance students have formed bands and performed at community events including the Arizona State Fair, downtown Chandler, and downtown Gilbert. These experiences help students gain confidence and valuable performance experience in professional, high-energy settings.
