What Is Glee Club?

Glee Club is an inclusive, social club for tweens, teens and young adults to feel empowered, creative and accepted no matter their age or musical ability.  We believe music is for everyone, no exceptions! Each week our instructors, will teach you the choreography, lyrics, adapted movements and sign language to a variety of popular songs.  Each class will also include grounding and regulating movements like stretching, adapted exercise movements, yoga and cool down experiences to ensure a full-body experience for participants.

How did Glee Club start?

Inspired by the hit TV show GLEE that took the country by storm, Bonnie Hayhurst collaborated with Jim Meadows at The Lake Metroparks to create Glee Club, an adapted program for teens and young adults of all abilities in Lake County, Ohio. Fifteen years later, and Glee Club is now a Groovy Garfoose phenomenon being offered across Northeast Ohio in Mayfield, Independence and Stow.

Glee Club is custom designed for teens and young adults of all abilities to access music in an inclusive way regardless of musical ability. Our board-certified music therapists collaborate with 8-10 teens and young adults each week to learn sign language, create choreography, play instruments and sing to chart-topping pop songs. The program culminates in a performance for friends and family on the final day of class.
