Founder and community
KC built a room where students can hear themselves grow.
Founder Karl "KC" Cousin teaches with the patience of a mentor and the expectations of a working musician. METLC is a real neighborhood room where students can begin at the keyboard, grow through practice, and step toward recording and performance.
Save a Seat keeps that room open. A gift helps a child stay connected to lessons, instruments, studio time, and an adult who expects them to keep going.
Save a Seat
Sponsor a student's instructional level.
Tuition should never be the reason a child puts the instrument down. A sponsorship covers one level, three levels, or the complete 36-week program.

Studio 204
Where students learn the craft and the tools.
Studio 204 brings recording and production into the same space as lessons, so students can move from practice to recording, from idea to track, and from confidence to performance.
