Check out our new digs!

Well we've moved into our new place on N Williams Ave!

We are thrilled with our new space. It's eclectic and funky and fun and bright. We think it suits us much better and we are soooo excited for you to see it!!!

Not only do we have a funky new space, but we also acquired a new neighborhood in N Williams, too, which is lined with other fun and fresh locally owned businesses. We share a space with Vergnetti's Coffee, and Che Cafe as well, so it's a great place for families waiting for students in lessons!

Read about our neighborhood online at Sunset Magazine!
See pictures of our new school on our Facebook Page!

We are now in the process of planning our most awesome birthday bash/open house for January 8th at 6pm. We would LOVE to see you!

We have music in our souls!

Sound Roots is so proud to have such amazing musicians on staff, who are actual musicians, practicing what they teach, out there living and doing what they love.

A few examples:

Corwin Bolt, our banjo/bass/guitar/mandolin teacher is performing this weekend with PSU Symphony in a joint production with The Portland Ballet collaborating on 'La Boutique Fantasque'.

Kyleen King (violin/bass) and Dave Jones (drums) are currently in studio, recording an album.

JT Locke (guitar) and his rock band just finished up their last concert of the year and also just wrapped up recording their 2nd album.

Jessica Jaeger (voice/piano/music theater) has spent the past two summers at Long Lake Camp for the Arts in New York teaching voice and music theater as well as being a camp counselor to teen girls!

That's just a taste of what our instructors have been up to and enjoy doing. Our life is about music. Playing it, sharing it, teaching it, living it.

Come play with us!
