Music Program
Find your musical passion at Headwaters Music & Arts!
Our music program offers one-on-one music and voice lessons for children and adults. We welcome new students at any time of the year with openings available in piano, violin, cello, viola, guitar, ukulele, percussion, voice, clarinet, saxophone and other band instruments.
More than learning an Instrument: When you take part in the Headwaters Music Program, it means more than weekly music lessons. In our year-round program you have the opportunity to interact with our talented team of instructors, experience recitals, community performances or special music events, and take on the challenge of MMTA contests and exams. You might even explore other art and community activities such as Open Mic, summer camps, pottery classes, or a special show featuring our music teachers. Lots of things happen here at Headwaters – and YOU are an important part of it all.
Program Cost: Our program is based on 40 half-hour lessons over the course of 12 months, September through August, for a total of $1200 per year. We offer scholarships based on financial need - the application form is available here. Lessons are weekly during the school year, with seven lessons scheduled over the three summer months. Lessons can begin at any time, and tuition is prorated accordingly. Once you register and pay the $45 program fee, we will contact you to discuss date, time and instructor options.
