Course Offerings

Instruction is open to all ages, children and adults, and all levels, from beginners to advanced students.  Lessons are offered in piano or clarinet, in 30-, 45-, and 60-minute individual or partner lessons and in small piano classes.  

Traditional and Suzuki piano instruction is offered.

Piano Classes, Partner and Individual Lessons

Motivating piano classes for children or adults add incentive for students to learn while enjoying interacting with other students.  Class piano students meet in a multiple piano studio in small groups averaging four to six students and pianos per class.  

Students can also choose to have a partner lesson with a select partner, or an individual lesson.   

Clarinet Instruction

School-age students and adult students can choose to have individual or partner lessons in clarinet.  Students who are participating in school band programs will greatly benefit from special instruction in their instrument.  Students who make the best progress in band often are enrolled for private instrumental lessons outside of school.     

Adult hobbyist clarinetists are welcome and encouraged to continue studying and playing the clarinet.   

Music Lab

After each instrumental lesson or class, all students work in the music computer lab to reinforce musical skills and concepts.  Students work with computer software and a variety of other materials designed to reinforce note reading, rhythm, ear training, theoretical concepts, and music history appropriate to their level of study.
