BEYOND MUSIC CLASSES

Basic instrument instruction is offered to children (K-12) in a group setting. As students continue their musical studies, they can join advanced courses, begin private lessons, or join music ensembles.

PRIVATE LESSONS

Private lessons are a great option for students who want or need a customized learning path. Lessons are customized to meet the needs and learning style of each student and the student’s progress determines the pace. Private lessons prepare students for musical performances where they can demonstrate their talent and others can watch and enjoy.

See all of our private lesson options now!

CHILDREN'S MUSIC ENSEMBLES

An ensemble can be the next step for a passionate music student and may encourage some students to continue their studies. Our performance groups invite students to apply their individual studies to collectively perform art – playing and performing with friends can be fun and fulfilling.

BECAUSE MUSIC MATTERS

MUSIC EDUCATION CHANGES LIVES

We provide access to music education to anyone who seeks it, regardless of economic status, ability, ethnicity, or religion, which has a profound impact on individual lives as well as on our entire community.

The group class was very engaging which made my daughter want to continue for another year of violin.
Zofia S.Bloomingdale Parent

We offer Need-based financial assistance

Our goal is to make music education accessible and to remove the financial barrier that may prevent students from participating. Therefore, we offer need-based financial aid to as many students as possible.
