Our students make our events great! Here, you can find a list of some of our favorite past events, along with pictures and videos that show our students getting in the groove! None of our events are possible without their talent and confidence, and we are proud to show you what they can do!


Let’s Get UpBeat 2023

November 2023


Schubas Vocal Showcase

June 2023

On June 3rd, our vocal students made a triumphant return to Schubas and sang their hearts out. With backing from our talented instructors, these young musicians played both classic songs and pop hits. We were truly impressed by our students’ skill and we can’t wait for their next performances! Check out this performance from Elise, who sang “You’re So Vain” by Carly Simon.


May Fest

May 2023

Once again, UpBeat’s student ensembles knocked the socks off of the crowd at May Fest! With an even bigger crowd (and slightly better weather than last year), these young musicians were playing off the energy in the crowd and did an amazing job. To all of our performers, great job! Thanks to May Fest organizers for having us there!
