REC Center Offers Free Music Class

Residents came out to see what Grand Terrace's The REC Center is all about during its open music class night, held Wednesday evening at the organization's Grand Terrace location. The course, which attracted 20 chilren, was the organization's first free class offered, explained director Jennifer Araiza. "From time-to-time, if someone has an interest in the organization, we'll invite them to sample one of the classes," she said. Wednesday evening's music class was open to all residents who wanted to try the class on a sort of free-trial basis, to give them a sense of what The REC Center does. It was broken up into three sections: vocals — which received the most inquiries — piano and guitar. Interested persons could choose which of these three music classes they'd like to take and many who came out Wednesday participated in more than one of the music classes. The REC Center, which also has a Highgrove location and will soon open its third location in Bloomington, hosts a variety of community-based recreation programs designed to give residents of all ages enjoyable activities to partake in. This includes music, arts and sports classes, among others, as well as programs like Parents Night Out and Tae Kwon Do classes. The center is always welcoming instructors, who Araiza explained are compensated for their time and talents. "That's one thing I really believe in is compensating the instructors for their time and energy," Araiza said. Instructors work with students off of a syllabus that they create. The next music session, which costs $27 per month, begins on Feb. 5. Spots are limited. Call 909-728-1081 to sign up.
