Learn to play the harp. Students will need to acquire their own lever or pedal harp, and it must be able to fit in your car. Please reach out to us if you are considering starting harp lessons.
We offer free fiddle loans to students taking weekly or biweekly old time fiddle lessons. If you want to learn but don’t have an instrument, we’ll lend you one at no cost for as long as you’re actively taking lessons with us. This is possible because of our fiddle repair shop, which makes it so that we have extra fiddles! Unfortunately we do not have any extra guitars or harps, so we are unable to accomodate guitar or harp loans.
We also accept instrument donations, if you have an unused instrument and would like to give it a new life. Know that your donated instrument will directly support someone's musical journey!
We are an approved West Virginia Hope Scholarship provider. Lessons can be billed through the EMA portal rather than invoiced to your family, so there is nothing to pay up front. Mention Hope when you reach out and we will confirm what your award covers and help you get set up. Hope applies to our music lessons generally, not only to the Suzuki program.
Please review our full list of Studio Policies here. All students must have a signed copy on file.
Tell us what you are interested in and we will be in touch to find a time. Suzuki families start with a no-cost interview. For fiddle, guitar and harp we will get your first lesson on the calendar.
