Music Classes for Queer or Trans Teens
Hi!
Does anyone know of any music classes specifically for LGBTQ+ teens? I have a transgender nonbinary kid who is very musical and would love to be with other LGBTQ+ teens. TIA!

Hi Barbie,
My 17-year-old trans son has had a great experience with Eli Conley, a singer/songwriter who works with LGBTQ+ teens. My son has been taking voice lessons (first in person, then virtual) with Eli for several years. Eli is a great teacher who has a lot of experience working with trans voices, and my son had a lot of fun and learned a lot from him. I know Eli is offering a songwriting class specifically for queer and trans teens that I'd recommend checking out!
Eli's website is eliconley.com :)
Hi Barbie,
Young Musicians Chorus, though not specifically for LGBTQ+ teens, is a place where trans kids are well-liked and respected in an atmosphere where really cool, generally challenging music binds the everyone in the group together. Check out this song they assembled at the start of the pandemic to support a couple of their trans kids last year: Warrior They've gotten together online during the pandemic, but will hopefully be meeting in person again at St. Alban's come fall.
