Williamsburg Expands Music Education Opportunities Through DoG Street Music
Williamsburg residents now have access to a wider range of music education programs thanks to DoG Street Music, which was founded in 2017. The organization provides various learning opportunities, including chamber ensembles, group lessons, private instruction, and a brass band for individuals of all ages and skill levels. This initiative aims to make music education both accessible and enjoyable, with a focus on ensemble-based learning.
DoG Street Music has transformed into a community-centered hub for music education, reflecting its commitment to nurturing young musicians and instilling confidence in students. The organization’s diverse classes cater to everyone, from early childhood learners to advanced musicians seeking ensemble coaching. With a mission centered around engaging students through music, DoG Street Music emphasizes the importance of collaborative learning experiences.
Upcoming Class Offerings
This fall, DoG Street Music will launch several new programs, including a Beginner Brass Class designed specifically for newcomers to music. This group learning environment will help students progress from playing their first notes to performing full songs. The class will run from September 4 to December 4, consisting of a total of 11 sessions held at King of Glory Church. Interested individuals can find registration details online.
DoG Street Brass Band
In addition to the Beginner Brass Class, the organization will also offer the DoG Street Brass Band, a performance-centered ensemble aimed at developing brass players who are keen on New Orleans-style music. Participation in this band requires at least one year of ensemble experience. The program will run concurrently with the Beginner Brass Class from September 4 to December 4, with five rehearsals scheduled at King of Glory Church. An annual registration fee of $100 covers both the Fall and Spring semesters for band members. Interested applicants can register online as well.
Instrument Rental Options

Detailed information regarding instrument rentals is available online, and inquiries can also be made by calling the organization directly.
