New Location, New Season

Especially we will now have four small classrooms or private lesson rooms, a larger classroom, and a waiting room. We need to move everything, and we […]
We have BIG News: We’re MOVING!

Monday is Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day. Many schools and some places of employment may have the day off as a holiday. We plan to still have classes and lessons as we always do on this day. This is in no way an expression of our lack of care for Dr. King, his legacy, […]
Should My Child Give Up their Instrument or Music Altogether?
In full disclosure, I would not call this a frequently asked question. I would however say that this is a question we have been asked more and more in recent years. I think the question itself on the lips of parents speaks to two primary realities that I would like to address first, and then […]
