Welcome to The Creative Group for Musical Artists
As players at the Southwest Florida Music Education Center, students learn a collegiate approach to music education designed for neurodivergent musicians. Collaborations, ensemble performances, and student-driven creative projects build professional relationships, strategies, and connections to the global arts community.
What it’s NOT.
This is not music education delivered in a traditional private teaching or practice setting.
What it IS.
Through major and minor projects over the course of four years, students will develop the skills, tools, and confidence to produce creative work. The Creative Group is open to musicians who play any instruments, perform all styles and genres, and create in any medium! Projects are designed to feature strengths and interests.
Example Projects
- Compose and perform a new instrumental song
- Record a cover version of a favorite musical piece
- Arrange a song for group performance
- Collaborate in a songwriting collective
- Design promotional materials (album artwork, posters, social media)
- Score a scene for a stage or film production
