 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.

Parent Observation Week March 26-31

We have another Parent Observation Week coming up soon.  This is a great opportunity to get up close and personal in your student's classes.   For dancers, the teacher will invite parents in for the last 5-10 minutes of class.  Take off your shoes and get out your cameras!   Musicians typically have their parents in class but if you don't usually participate, now's your chance!

March is here and things are ramping up at Aspire.  March 17 we have our annual Accompaniment Workshop for our Simply Music and music students.  Each student gets 10 minutes to play with a LIVE BAND.  We have a great time hearing all types of music from Journey and Adele to the Newsboys and the Beatles.
