There is NO substitute for experience.
An inexperienced instructor can RUIN a child's chance for a good musical education.
Private music lessons
Private lessons are the only way to go when it comes to music lessons. The reasons are obvious. So don't let some complicated explanation supporting group lessons confuse you. Learning note reading, counting, etc. is essential to learning music at any age. Saying it is not is mumbo jumbo. (sorry to get so technical!)
In addition to accepting beginning students, we accept continuing students who are looking for an instructor who can handle a more advanced student.
We are a music school interested only in music education.
We are not a commercial store where their business and interest is renting and selling instruments and selling merchandise, and music lessons are added as an afterthought.
Townsend Music School has been providing the best in music education for over 60 years. Our instructors are professional teachers whose lives are devoted to teaching children as well as adults the joys of making music. We emphasize the basics for beginners while making the learning process fun and exciting. Our artist instructors are able to teach beginners as well as very advanced pupils. We would like to see every child take music lessons and discover how music enriches their lives! (adults, too)
Study with professional teachers at a professional studio such as ours, where education is our goal, and you will get the best results. (We are NOT a commercial store like other "conservatories"!) You will not waste your money and more importantly, your time. Guarantee that you will get started playing the correct way and REALLY learn how to play!
No one has more experience, knowledge, understanding, patience, or talent than the unbelievably gifted instructors at our school.

It is of utmost importance for children (and adults) to start with the right teacher, an experienced, highly qualified teacher, from the very beginning. It is very important to have a teacher who can relate to each student. It sounds very basic, but you need to make sure the teacher knows how to play, read music, count, and interpret music. Teachers with these qualities are few and far between. You will know for sure that you have the RIGHT TEACHER when you come to Townsend.
Our school does not sell merchandise, pianos, or any instruments. We are not a store. We are interested solely in teaching and in the education of our pupils.
