PROGRAMS FOR teens (ages 13-17)

Creativity changes as kids grow - and teens need space that respects independence, identity, and personal style. At Attune Arts, we offer supportive, interest-based creative sessions for teens that prioritize autonomy, comfort, and self-expression - without pressure to perform or explain.

Our work with teens focuses on confidence, communication, and creative agency through music and storytelling, using flexible, individualized sessions that meet teens where they are and how they want to engage.

program options

Adaptive Music

Explore rhythm, sound, instruments, or songwriting in sessions shaped around a teen’s sensory needs, communication style, and creative preferences. Adaptive music sessions support experimentation, self-expression, and confidence - whether music is a new interest or a longtime passion.
