In musical terms, Parlando means “To speak in a musical way.” At Parlando School for the Arts we believe that music and the arts have the power to bring joy and inspiration to all who wish to listen, sing, act or learn regardless of age, income or ability. We are committed to unifying our community around the common language of the arts.

At Parlando School For The Arts we share the language of music and the arts in four key ways:

High Quality Arts Education

Parlando School for the Arts is Colorado’s premier arts school, where people of all ages and abilities come together to share the language of music and the arts. Our highly talented and experienced faculty provides lessons and classes of all types to students of all abilities.

Tuition Assistance

We believe that all students interested in Parlando’s life-changing programs should be able to pursue their passion regardless of their ability to pay. Our Tuition Assistance program strives to provide these students with the financial help they need to remain committed to their artistic pursuits.

Community Outreach

At Parlando School for the Arts we are committed to stepping outside of our studios to serve our broader community. We seek to compliment the hard work of teachers in our community by sending our faculty, free of charge, into schools seeking supplementary instruction and expertise.

Performance Opportunities

At Parlando School for the Arts we believe that performance is the most fundamental way of celebrating our common language of music and the arts. From monthly recitals for students of all abilities, to outreach concerts for senior citizens, to high-quality audition-only performances such as the 2009 groundbreaking production of “The Secret Garden,” we provide students and community members with the opportunity to speak to each other through the universal language of the arts.
