HOW WE MAKE AN IMPACT
The Music School welcomes ANYONE

new, expanding on past training, heading
to college music study, or participating in
an ensemble. Early childhood programs
introduce the youngest children to the
joys and benefits of music. Our licensed
therapists provide healing through music.
On-site instruction is offered at 2 branches and 6 satellites, and the school’s virtual activities can serve anyone, anywhere. The school recently received 10-year national reaccreditation.
