Do you want to learn to sing or play an instrument? Whether you're beginning for the first time or picking up an instrument that's been sitting in the closet for years, Music Center can help. Give us a call and we'll help on the road to making the music you love with personalized, one-on-one instruction with one of our friendly, professional instructors.

We offer programs for young musicians that progress as they age. Music Together^® can begin as early as 6 months, and when the child turns 5 they can move into the Music Together Big Kids™ class, for 5 to 7 year-olds.

The Suzuki Academy takes students as young as 3, and has a continually progressing curriculum for students up to age 18.

The Achievement Program™ The Achievement Program is a joint effort by Carnegie Hall in New York, The Royal Conservatory in Toronto, and hundreds of music schools and teachers across the country. The program provides a detailed and extensive curriculum that includes repertoire, ear training, music theory, and sight reading at each level.

Learn to sing, play an instrument, or understand music theory in one of our group classes.

Learning opportunities ala carte! Workshops are intensive sessions that range in length from an afternoon to an entire week. Besides the Messiah Sing-and-Play Along in December, most workshops are held during the summer term. Past workshops have included the Puget Sound Chamber Workshop, the Kids Sing & Play Workshop, Beginning Band Camp, and more. Check back for current offerings.

Summer is the time to expand your musical horizons. Whether you want to experiment with something new, challenge yourself in an intensive week-long camp, or continue your regular music studies, Music Center can help you plan a unique summer musical journey. Summer Session 2012 information will be available after the new year.

An Instrument Petting Zoo is a free, hands-on activity that introduces children of all ages to musical instruments. This is one of the ways we make music accessible and available to all, and we host several Instrument Petting Zoos in the greater Seattle area every year.

Given the opportunity to see, touch, hear, and play the instruments, curious minds discover how they can be an integral part of the creation of musical sounds and become familiar with how sound is produced.

This is a great way to spark people's creativity and open the doors to a world of music and its many benefits. Without the support of donors and volunteers, free public events like this could not happen.

The Nutcracker Petting Zoo in connection with King FM will be November 26th 2pm, November 27th 1pm, December 3rd 2pm, December 4th 1pm, and December 10th 2pm.
