Sylvia's Music Studio, 104 Poplar St, Wyandotte, MI 48192, US

You can find this bastion of creative energy behind the bright yellow sign on Harper, a guitar pick's throw from South Lake Middle School. Inside, students spend their afternoons learning basic guitar repair, music and jazz theory and basic composition. They're taking lessons -- as individuals, in groups and as bands. It's a place that hosts creative learning while at the same time being a place to purchase instruments and sheet music. Word of occasional events and performances gets out on Facebook and on word-of-mouth websites.
