MAC Studios Apprentice Program

The MAC Studios Apprentice Program is designed to mentor young musicians who are passionate about teaching, creativity, and community. Apprentices gain hands-on experience in music education, leadership, and studio operations while developing their own teaching voice in a supportive, professional environment.

Our goal is to help motivated students bridge the gap between performer and teacher — building confidence,responsibility, and a deeper understanding of how to share music with others.
