Where magic happens.
What’s GEMS?
Gems offers a variety of music classes that encourages girls to explore their natural gifts and shine. Director, Chaviva Tarlow, creates a warm and joyful environment that supports each girl to find the music within while having fun along the way. We believe in the spillover effect of self confidence - when a girl finds her voice, it brings magic into the rest of her day!
