 REGISTER NOW FOR MUSIC LESSONS AND DANCE CLASSES 681-3979

Since 2007 over 1100 students have taken music lessons or dance classes at our convenient location between Sequim and Port Angeles.  We started as a very small school in 1995 teaching Kindermusik and Simply Music piano lessons but have grown to become the largest music and dance school on the Olympic Peninsula.

As a parent we realize you have a choice between a few different music schools and dance schools. All studios are not the same. We constantly improve our facilities and provide ongoing training to our staff to ensure we are always providing our students and parents with the best experience possible.

Today, as in 1995, there are a few different studios to choose from. We invite you to compare all of the features and options to see why our studio has been chosen more than any other music or dance school.

We are also the Peninsula's ZUMBA headquarters and offer Zumba classes 6 days.
