Help Us Celebrate

23 Years of Our Musical Oasis

We are getting ready to host our last camp of 2021.

When we opened our doors in April of 1998

to 30 students and old friends agreeing to be a part of our staff,

we believed we could make a difference

with a teaching oasis that was different from any other.

After 23 years of hosting some of the best musicians and students, we feel like we accomplished our goal.

 

We did in fact exceed our goals.

 

Now we are on to a new chapter in Fur Peace Ranch history.

As strange as the last 18 months was with all of our virtual classes, our instructors were able to offer more up close

and personal techniques to their style of teaching that in

turn brought it home to the students and impacted their own style of performing.


We want to send a huge shoutout to all of the instructors over the last 23 years that helped shape the

Fur Peace Ranch.
