WELCOME
Welcome to Friends of Watermelon Music, an organization dedicated to enriching lives through music. We provide community music education, operate a consignment store for musical instruments, and host community engagement opportunities. Additionally, members have access to our instrument library so we can foster a vibrant musical culture in Yolo County.
Community Music Classes
Join a chorus of voices and instruments at Friends of Watermelon Music. Our community classes offer more than just group music classes and jamming sessions; they provide a space to connect, share, and grow together through the universal language of music. Be part of a community in concert—where every member contributes to the harmony. Whether you’re a beginner or an advanced musician, there’s a place for you in our ensemble.
Community Engagement Opportunities
Hosting concerts, open mic nights, or karaoke that are open to Yolo County and beyond, we involve local artists or students. Friends of Watermelon Music puts on low-cost workshops that educate the public on various aspects of music, from instrument care to music theory, or how music can impact cognitive and emotional well-being. We also offer positions for volunteers to assist in organizing and running music events, classes, or workshops, helping in administrative roles, or supporting fundraising efforts.
Consignment Store
Our consignment store offers a curated selection of quality used instruments, providing an affordable and sustainable option for musicians to buy, sell, and explore.
