Eclectic Music - Friday from 4-8pm, come see some of the best young musicians the local community has to offer during the Eclectic Music Showcase on the ADF "Kids Village.." Stage. Eclectic Music offers private music lessons, classes, and summer day camps in Virginia-Highland/Morningside. They believe that performance is what takes students from "I take music lessons" to "I am a musician," so they provide plenty of opportunities to play in front of people. Students of all ages are showcased alongside local professionals at their very own performance studio in Inman Park, and they love to take advantage of opportunities to play gigs elsewhere in the community, whether at clubs, restaurants, homes - or festivals like the ADF.
