Perform with professional musicians!

Here at Boulder Music we have the unique model of holding "concerts" And "recitals." The idea of a recital is to showcase the students improvement, and a concert is a more finessed full experience with hired full band and masterclasses! At Boulder Music, our students have different performance opportunities every month, from open mic nights, cafes, breweries, concert halls, retirement homes, and performance venues. Between 4-6 times a year, students receive the opportunity to have one of their prepared pieces accompanied by a full band filled with adult professional musicians on bass, drums, guitar, sequencer and piano. These musicians make ANYONE sound incredible, and they are there to support YOU!

This experience propels kids professionally, allowing for real recordings and live material to promote their musical journey. The largest benefit of these performances is that students learn to communicate in the professional world of music, while still being nurtured and supported in every way.

Twenty-Five Voices Share Holiday Classics in a Heartfelt Community Recording

Boulder, CO — December 22nd— Boulder Music is proud to announce the release of A Gift of Song 2025, a holiday recording project featuring 25 student singers performing beloved seasonal classics. Released today, the album celebrates young voices, musical mentorship, and the joy of sharing music during the holiday season.

A Gift of Song 2025 brings together students of varying ages and experience levels, offering each singer the opportunity to participate in a professional-style recording while contributing to a collective musical gift. The result is a warm, joyful collection that reflects both individual artistry and the power of community music-making.

“This project is about more than songs,” says Kari Kraakevik, founder and director of Boulder Music. “It’s about giving students the experience of being heard, of contributing something meaningful, and of learning that their voices — exactly as they are — have value.”

Through solo moments and ensemble performances, A Gift of Song 2025 honors the traditions of holiday music while emphasizing confidence, collaboration, and expressive growth. The project serves as both a keepsake for families and a seasonal offering meant to be shared beyond the studio.

Released today as part of Boulder Music’s ongoing commitment to arts education, A Gift of Song 2025 stands as a reminder that music is a gift best given together.
