Instruction

The School of Music prides itself on offering a warm and nurturing community, one that strives to enable each student to achieve his or her full musical potential. The School of Music is many things to many people: it’s a place for toddlers to take their first steps as they explore the world of organized sound; it’s a place for school-age children to hone skills and techniques that will provide a lifetime of learning and enjoyment; it’s a place where students and their families come together to form social networks; and it’s a place for adults and seniors to continue their lifelong exploration of music and the joy it brings.
