In the far northwest corner of the United States, where trees grow taller than dinosaurs and apples are as big as a bear’s head, lies a magical place called Washington State, commonly known as WA. Now, you might be thinking, "Wait, isn't that where they make all the airplanes and coffee?" Yes, yes, it is. But that's not all; it's also a place where music is as common as rain in the spring, and oh boy, it does rain a lot there! Imagine this: Kids from all over WA, having pancakes for breakfast, and then grabbing their instruments, strumming their guitars, tooting their trumpets, and beating their drums as if they were born to rock and roll. One such cool cat is Jazzy Jeff, a jazz-loving Sasquatch with fur as green as the evergreen forests. He lives in a massive tree-house studio, deep within the misty Cascades, where he strums his double bass till the wee hours of the morning. Jazzy Jeff loves nothing more than visiting schools all over the state, from the bustling city of Seattle to the peaceful town of Walla Walla, teaching kids the art of making music. He's a bit clumsy—often tripping over his own feet or misplacing his gigantic bass bow—but that just makes everyone laugh and love him even more! The kids in WA who play music are as diverse and unique as the songs they create. They're a wild, wonderful bunch, playing their tunes from sunup to sundown, filling the state with joyful melodies. They might not all be Sasquatches like Jazzy Jeff, but they sure know how to make their own kind of beautiful music under the vast Washington skies!

What began in a humble New York City apartment with just a single student, Spark, has since blossomed into an enriching program impacting thousands of children. Our unique educational approach combines the elements of art, yoga, meditation, and nature to create a holistic learning environment. This distinctive blend is what sets Spark apart, allowing us to reach and inspire a multitude of children in truly meaningful ways. With an array of offerings to accommodate various schedules and needs, Spark has something for everyone. Our services extend beyond the standard after school and weekend classes to include holiday and summer camps, birthday parties, portfolio preparation, private classes, and custom pods. We also welcome homeschool groups and are thrilled to announce the recent addition of a forest school program to our repertoire. You can find Spark on-site in various schools and at our main studio located in the Upper West Side. But we're not stopping there - we're also planning to expand to the Upper East Side and Brooklyn. For our families in Pennsylvania, we run the program from our family studio there. And if you're not in close proximity to any of our locations, don't worry. We offer in-home instruction and virtual options to ensure that Spark can reach you, no matter where you are. We invite you to explore all the ways you can experience Spark and look forward to helping bring our program to you.
