Sunburst Under Construction

Alex Stanton • May 5, 2022

When we first moved into our current home we had 6 rooms that occupied a little under half of the second floor. Little by little as our school has grown we were able to add more and more of the building until we added the final section of the second floor when the law office next door moved out in 2019. Since then, we’ve been planning a project to stitch it all together into one amazing space! 

Here are some of the features of our new layout: 

  • Larger stage and concert space
  • 16 Lesson rooms–all with good sound isolation
  • New dedicated admin and reception offices
  • 5 Super isolated rooms for live drums
  • Improved recording/production capabilities
  • Coffee (haha)

The project began this week and should be completed sometime this summer. We’re working hard to make sure that we keep the disruption to a minimum. 

  • Lessons and group programs should be able to continue mostly without interruption other than some room shuffling.
  • We may have to change the time of some lessons or move them to zoom during the period with the most rooms closed. If we need to do this we will reach out to you by email/phone ahead of time. 
  • We don’t anticipate any interruption to our summer camp schedule
We’re anticipating completing the project this summer and cannot wait to share our new school with you!! Please let us know if you have any questions.


Here's a little sneak peek of what we're building:
