HOW WE MAKE AN IMPACT
The Music School warmly welcomes
ANYONE (any age/ level) wishing to pursue
music study. Our 85 expert faculty nurture
and guide students to reach personal goals,
whether trying something new, expanding on
past training, heading to college music study,
or participating in a group music experience.
Early childhood programs introduce the
youngest children to the joys and benefits
of music. Our licensed therapists provide a
path to healing through music. On-site instruction is presently offered at two branches, and the school’s virtual activities can serve anyone, anywhere.
