How to find the right program?

Not sure which program is right for you? We’re here to help! Speaking with one of our office staff can help narrow down which opportunities might be best for you. You can give us a call at (206) 526 - 8443, email us, or drop by our school office.

Private Lessons:

You’ll start with a 30 minute introductory lesson to meet your teacher and see what lessons are like. Prospective students may take intro lessons with multiple teachers or on multiple instruments to find the right fit.

Group Classes, Ensembles or Workshops:

Before deciding to register, we can connect you with our teachers to talk about the program and go over questions you might have. Often times we have opportunities for prospective students to join a class for free before deciding to register. Check with the office to join a rehearsal or class!

Review the Calendar & Student Handbook:

When considering a program, take a look at Music Center’s calendar and the student handbook for important schedule and policy information. Questions? Contact the office!
