If you are a music teacher in Arlington, Virginia (or the neighboring Northern Virginia areas), then come join us for coffee to share and discuss the good and the bad about teaching music in the Nation's Capital.

All music teachers are welcome: Full time, part time, school, music store, freelance, aspiring, etc.

Music is the purest form of art... therefore true poets, they who are seers, seek to express the universe in terms of music... The singer has everything within him.

First cry of the new born is the most melodious music to the mother’s ears. We put across many expressions through music – be it love, friendship or patriotism. But for all this we need a platf …

For those who do not obtusely serve the engine to which the label "unseen forces" is applied, but throw themselves into the moving gears to understand how it works. Our purpose is to cultivate a deeper understanding of music and musicianship, gaining perspective on our own knowledge, sharing compositions and performances to gain feedback, analysis, and insight …

Do you listen to new bands but feel too old to go to their shows? Or, do you tend to go but feel weird about being the oldest person there?  There are lots of great shows coming to town and there is NO LAW against grayhairs going to live new music.

The "Hipster" label is entirely tongue-in-cheek. We're not all that strict about the "ag …
