The Portland Metro Arts Music Program offers both group classes and private lessons in a variety of instruments. Our teachers offer lessons to beginners as well as advanced students that progress 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.
Group music classes are offered during our School Year term from September to the end of May. Private music lessons are offered during our School Year term followed by a Summer Session. 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

Children and adults can experience the joy of playing a musical instrument. Beginning and intermediate students can arrange for private lessons in a variety of instruments. 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. All students other than piano, will need to provide their own appropriately-sized instrument. We have some instuments available for rent. We will have the appropriate music for purchase.
