Buddy Program
The Buddy Program pairs students together to support one another as they grow musically and personally. Buddies learn from each other, share skills, and work toward performing a duet together at a recital. The program values connection and community, with occasional get-togethers that help students build friendships, confidence, and a strong sense of belonging at Prism.
Friendship in Action
The Buddy Program is about more than music. It is about connection, laughter, and shared experiences that students carry with them beyond their lessons. Throughout the year, buddies come together for fun outings like an energetic day at Activate, a cozy Christmas crafting night, and time spent enjoying good food and great company. These moments strengthen friendships, build confidence, and create a sense of community.
