Clefia Contemporary Music Program
Create. Perform. Produce. Your Sound Starts Here.
The Clefia Contemporary Music Program is not just a set of classes — it’s a launchpad for the next generation of music creators. Designed for students aged 10+, this program blends performance, songwriting, composition, and digital music production into a comprehensive creative journey.
Whether your child dreams of becoming a singer-songwriter, film composer, pop artist, producer, or simply wants to express themselves through music, Clefia offers the tools, mentorship, and performance experiences to bring those dreams to life.
