Homeschool Bands
Learn more about our specific homeschool bands throughout the Twin Cities metro area.
Our comprehensive homeschool band programs are the perfect way to incorporate music into your homeschool.
We at Encore Ensembles meet all of our students where they are musically to help them to grow, try new things, and step outside of their comfort zone. Music is a great way for kids to learn the value of hard work, persistence, and artistic expression. Learn about our Twin Cities area homeschool bands below.
