HMI welcomes young and old music lovers alike. Learn from the beginning or increase your knowledge of music at HMI.
Please examine our registration form to see available classes, private instruction, times and tuition for study.
Be part of our “Get Involved” program that is focused on at-risk middle and high school students in the El Paso area. This program will allow at-risk youths to use their time doing something they love but have no way of doing on their own. They will gain a basic understanding of using a digital audio workstation, which includes MIDI sequencing, sound modules and basic songwriting and production skills. We are asking local companies to sponsor a child. Just call HMI at 915-202-8809 with your donation and we will help a child.
