The Portland Metro Arts Music Program offers group classes and private lessons in Bass Guitar, Cello, Flute, French Horn, Guitar, Piano, Trumpet, Ukulele, Violin, Viola, and Voice. Our teachers offer lessons to beginners as well as advanced students, and go at a pace that responds to each student’s individual needs. Learning proper technique for voice or an instrument gives a student a lifelong skill in an artform that enriches their life and builds confidence in their own abilities. Music is a performing art students have opportunities to showcase their talent and accomplishments.
All music classes and lessons run from Sept. 7, 2021 – June 16, 2022 followed by a summer session of private music lessons. Enrollments are accepted throughout the year. Private lessons are subject to instructor availability. We recommend you call or email us to inquire available times. ENROLL BELOW

Group Music Classes
Learning in a group setting is a fun way to introduce playing an instrument, while getting “hands on” experience, making new friends & gaining musical skills! See your child’s face beam in self-confidence with the success of making music from the very first lesson. Students will learn the basics of playing an instrument, while developing note-reading and overall musicianship. Violin, Viola, and Cello students will need to provide their own appropriately-sized instrument. Music is provided. Parent participation is strongly encouraged.

Our private music lessons are 30-minutes long and given once per week. Scheduling depends on teacher availability. We take new enrollments throughout the year, so it’s never too late to start! 45-minute and 60-minute advanced or semi-private lessons are available upon request.
