Students may take more than one class, if the schedule allows, which will be an additional $15. Music classes (which are instrumental lessons) are 30 minutes followed by 30 minutes of music theory. The Art class time is from 6:30-8:00. The WeDo Lego Robotics classes are from 6:30-7:45 and the Mindstorm Robotics class is from 6:30-8:00. See below for a detailed schedule and a description of some of the classes. Community dinner will begin at 6:00 for you're entire family, no extra fee!

Art Class 

​Time to get creative! Art class is a place to get messy and have fun creating. There are many projects waiting for you to dive into like sketching, painting, and fascinating artistic crafts that combine a variety of techniques. If you are an experienced artist or just a beginner, we have a project for you.  Art class is a place to learn new techniques and explore different types of media that maybe you haven’t tried before.  It’s also a place to just express yourself…in a fun way.

​

Bluegrass 

There’s no time like the present to learn an instrument from our American heritage! In this class, learn tuning, rolls, reading tab, playing chords, and more. Also explore its fascinating history. From mountain music to bluegrass, this basic class is a great chance to learn some of West Virginia’s most loved instruments.  If you so choose the Bluegrass class, you have an opportunity to learn the basics on the instrument of your choice. We offer Banjo, Fiddle, Dobro, Mandolin, Guitar and Bass. You'll be learning Acoustic instruments while you explore fascinating history from Mountain Music to Bluegrass in the hills.

Music Theory

Music theory is a wonderful asset to the other music classes we offer at Coda Community. Here, we will be learning the basic structure of how and why music works, which opens the door for arranging and composing music - and easily applies to the instruments we play, whether it be a stringed instrument, percussive instrument, or the voice! Music theory is foundational on the musical journey to success!

​

Piano

This course is dedicated to learning piano for students who want to read traditional music. This allows for a better understanding of what you are reading and how it fits together with chords. Playing chords is the backbone to forming music faster, either your own work or covers. This course is designed to get you reading and playing quickly, practically and efficiently.

​

Robotics

Coda Community offers three different levels of lego robotics – WeDo 1, WeDo2 and Mindstorm.

WeDo 1 is our entry level.  Students will discover how gears, cogs, belts and motors work together to create motion.  They build simple robots from lego blocks then program those robots to do certain tasks.  Programming is simple, picture based, drag and drop icons.  Once this level is complete the student progresses to WeDo 2.

​

WeDo 2 is our second level.  Although similar to WeDo 1, the robots are a bit more complex.  Sensors that detect motion and degree of tilt are added to the machines to change the way they behave.  Programming is drag and drop icons just like WeDo 1.

​

Our third level is Mindstorm.  In this series of classes, the student will work with complex autonomous machines that they build themselves.  Programing is a little more advanced and each model they build will have a mission to complete before moving on.

​

Violin

The violin opens the door to many different styles of music including classical, orchestral, chamber, bluegrass, folk, ballad and more. These group or semi-private lessons will teach you how to hold, tune and learn violin skills that set a solid foundation for future success using the Suzuki method!

​

Ukulele

If you've ever wanted to play an instrument and aren't sure where to start, then this ukulele class is for you! Young and old alike will enjoy playing some favorite tunes on this fun little instrument.
