For going on 40 years, Crowden has been a vital East Bay community hub, promoting a love of music that transcends the walls of our historic building on Rose Street. Over 8,000 children and adults attend Crowden classes, concerts, and other events each year, and we are calling on you to help us continue this tradition.
Crowden offers music education to the entire community through our two divisions: Crowden Music Center, providing lessons, classes, workshops, camps, and concert series for students of all ages, and The Crowden School, an independent school for students in 3rd–8th grade with a full academic curriculum designed to foster intellectual and emotional maturity through the development of analytical and critical thinking, alongside a daily music program with an emphasis on chamber music where students learn to play music together developing empathy, communications, and collaboration skills beyond their years. Over 50% of The Crowden School’s diverse student body receives tuition assistance through Crowden’s financial aid program.
