Butterscotch Studios Longmont has become a vibrant hub for music, art, and community in downtown Longmont, Colorado. Located at 620 Kimbark St., this women-owned music and art collective is dedicated to fostering an inclusive and supportive environment where people of all ages and backgrounds can explore creativity.
The studio offers a wide range of private music lessons covering instruments such as piano, guitar, ukulele, drums, voice, violin, viola, mandolin, cello, banjo, flute, saxophone, trombone, and euphonium. Trial lessons are available for beginners, while ongoing weekly instruction supports the development of musicians.
For younger children, classes like “Grown Up and Me” provide a playful introduction to music. Collaborative opportunities include workshops, ensembles, and group classes such as a Group Open Sing for Women and Non-Binary voices and an 8-week drum course.
Beyond education, Butterscotch Studios also serves as a live music venue in Longmont. Their cozy “Living Room Sets” bring audiences close to performers, while backyard happy hour shows create a relaxed, social setting. The studio also hosts a recurring open mic night featuring local artist Antonio Lopez, providing a welcoming stage for emerging performers.
True to its identity as a collective, Butterscotch Studios also supports visual arts. The space doubles as an art gallery featuring local artists, with pieces available for purchase. Event and rehearsal rentals are available, making it a flexible creative space in Longmont.
At its core, Butterscotch Studios Longmont is about inclusivity. The studio regularly organizes programming that uplifts marginalized voices, such as the “Pen and Power” writing workshop and community poetry open mics.
The collective was co-founded by Laura Stratton (piano, guitar, ukulele instructor) and Sam Mallouf (art instructor), along with a dedicated team of educators passionate about creating a safe and inspiring space for the Longmont community.
