The Original Music School is designed for beginners as well as advanced students. Regardless of your child's musical experience, he or she will benefit from our flexible program and a caring and knowledgeable teaching staff.

Your child will be grouped with other young musicians based on age, ability, experience, interest, and style.

There is always an even mix of students in grades 6-12 attending. Furthermore, your child will typically work with students in their own age group, although some classes may have students of all ages depending on ability levels, experience, interest, and styles of those enrolled. Children younger than 10 will be accepted into the songwriting/performing/recording program on a case-by-case basis but they are all welcome to receive private instruction in the instrument of their choice.

Yes! Voice is the most dynamic instrument as well as the hardest to play! We have classes in voice in addition to the other instruments.
