Mode Music and Performing Arts – Classes & Camps is a nonprofit arts organization. The mission of Mode Music and Performing Arts is to offer innovative arts education programs promoting confidence, social awareness, equity and empathy in its students and community. The founder is Erin Rubin.

Mode Music and Performing Arts brings accessible arts education to Seattle’s kids through school enrichment programs, group classes and camps at its classroom space in West Seattle, and private lesson scholarships for instruction at Mode Music Studios. After-school enrichment programs and in-school partnerships bring the arts into schools, with free and discounted after-school classes provided for Title I schools, and the organization partners with public schools whose arts program funding had been reduced or eliminated. With donor support, Mode Music and Performing Arts provides school enrichment programs, pay-what-you-can group camps and classes, and private music lesson scholarships, and it also offers a teaching and mentorship program for high school aged students and their younger peers. Summer camps are offered for K–8th grade, including new camps for 6–8th graders, and the curriculum includes offerings like Dungeons and Dragons, Ukulele 101, Improv, Rock, Fairytale Play Creation, Improv Workshop, and Music Around the World.

Mode Music and Performing Arts has a Covid-19 policy requiring students to stay home if they have experienced a known Covid exposure or are experiencing any Covid symptoms, and masks in classes are optional.
