Grow Your Gift Conservatory of Music is expanding to Crestview with a new location opening at 928 North Ferdon Blvd. on April 1.
- The music school is filling a void left by the recent closure of another commercial music school in the area, according to founder Marlayna Goosby.
“As Crestview saw a music store close its doors, we saw an opportunity to continue delivering music education outside of the traditional school day,” Goosby said. “A community music school gives student musicians of all ages the chance to learn and perform music—whether after school, after work, or as part of a homeschool curriculum.”
The conservatory, which opened in Fort Walton Beach six years ago, has served more than 1,000 musicians across Okaloosa, Walton, and Santa Rosa Counties.
Pre-enrollment is currently open for classes designed for beginners ages 5 to adult. Offerings include beginner piano, intro to music, Boomwhacker classes, preschool music medley, and private lessons in piano, oboe, and bassoon. The school plans to add more instruments in the future.
A grand opening celebration is scheduled for June 28 featuring live student performances, local vendors and food. The event is open to the community.
Students can enroll now at growyourgiftmusic.opus1.io/w/crestviewprograms.
