The Singing Cafe (A faux {cause that's a fun word to use})

The Singing Cafe is going to be a coffee/tea shop which also offers musical lessons. Community members will be able to sign up for weekly lessons with intermediate-expert teachers in a variety of different musical instruments and forms, from guitar and piano to digital music production. I say community members (as opposed to customers) because the heart behind the coffee shop is to establish a community of musical coffee and tea lovers, not just a loyal customer base. This community will be built through weekly open mics where people will be able to show off what they've learned and any songs they may have written. Original pieces will be encouraged for these performances, though people can play covers if they'd like. We will hire music teachers and baristas separately, though if somebody is talented in both areas, they can certainly be hired into both positions. The location will be on Elm Street, if a space is available.
