Level Up Music Series

Level up is brought to you by the Austin School for the Performing and Visual Arts, ASPVA, and supported in part by the Elevate Grant of Austin Arts, Culture and Music Entertainment. Guided by industry professionals, singer-songwriter Kate Bass and multi-instrumentalist Gustavo Manzur of MORRISSEY fame, the workshops will provide young musicians with training in songwriting, arrangement, production and performance. Participants may register for individual sessions or complete the full series for the most immersive experience. While each workshop day introduces new material and can stand alone, the full series is designed to guide students through the creative process from songwriting foundations to live performance and showcase preparation.
