Parlando School of Musical Arts’ mission is to provide access to people of all ages and abilities, inspiring them to share in the love of music and the arts through education, community collaboration, and performance opportunity.
“Parlando” is an Italian word meaning “to speak.” In musical terms, Parlando means “to speak in a musical way.” At Parlando School of Musical Arts, we are committed to unifying our community through the universal language of music and the arts.
Our Vision Statement
With our focus on educational excellence, Parlando strives to create a thriving music and arts collective in an environment where ALL members of our community discover, engage in, and share their artistic potential.
Inclusivity Statement
We are committed to providing opportunities for students and teachers of all races, socioeconomic statuses, sexual orientations, gender identities, and abilities - including neurodiversities. We recognize that we have work to do to prioritize and center racial equity and representation among our faculty, our programming, our educational practices, and our resources. We commit to the time, energy, resources, funding, and long term institutional changes this will entail – we intend to show and not tell.
