My kids have taken music lessons through Arts+ the past 6 years. They now play drums, keyboard, and guitar, and their teacher keeps it fun with the songs they learn to play. Plus, the spring concerts at Spirit Square are great as they experience playing on stage with a band, lights, and an audience. We have loved being part of Arts+.

Arts+ is a really wonderful organization! I've taken several classes here, and they were both fantastic! Can't wait to take more! Charlotte NEEDS more one-day workshops like these for adults. I cannot say enough good things about the staff, the supplies and the artist teachers. Thank you!

My kids have been taking Mr. Steven Ray's art class and we all love it! They have art and music classes in different Charlotte locations. I would only consider them for any arts instruction.
