Piano and Violin Lessons for All Ages
MWC offers year round, weekly Piano Lessons Monday – Saturday to all ages, from preschoolers to senior citizens. Several lesson formats are available: Private, Piano Partnerships, and Parent Piano Classes. Piano study includes all levels of repertoire and all styles of music.
Starting in August 2025, Music Works is pleased to announce the addition of violin instruction. Lessons are currently offered on Wednesday starting fall 2025.
A Piano Lab is an additional component of the piano curriculum for elementary, middle and high school students during the academic school year. This is scheduled in conjunction with the weekly lesson as a 20-minute block before or after the lesson time with the instructor. The addition of a virtual option for the MWC Lab is now available for students who wish to do this from home. For more information, check out the Musicianship Lab.
