Creativity fuels the magic behind Notably Creative. Opening last fall, Notably Creative is a music school that fosters creativity and entrepreneurialism through the music arts. From music theory and small ensembles to musical theater and DJs, students learn to not only read and play music, but also how to apply it to their own careers. With a fun and accessible performance stage, students don’t have to feel pressured when they perform in front of an audience. After all, Notably Creative’s lessons are all about growth — not perfection.

With a teaching staff full of internationally-recognized musicians, Notably Creative has a wealth of musical knowledge at its fingertips. Award-winning jazz artist Ippy Roy was well-recognized in India before moving to DFW, while Shelley Carroll is in his 31st year with the Duke Ellington Band and is widely seen as one of the best tenor sax players in the world. 

Plus, Notably Creative serves some of the best-shaved ice in the country through Chrissy Kuo’s Snowbaby, which was previously featured on “The Food Network.” 

Whether it’s through its fun and interactive lessons or its soft and creamy shaved ice, music is the spark that drives Notably Creative.
