Music lessons for ages 0 to adult

Are you looking for a cool, safe place where music education is a joyful experience? Does the idea of exploring jazz, gospel, blues, improvisational and classical music with teaching artists who are real working musicians excite you? Maybe band and orchestra programs in a traditional school setting are not a good fit – or your interests may involve styles and instruments not available in those environments.

Students ages 0 to adult have been discovering exactly what they were looking for at our community music school on Selby Avenue for 30 years. Quite a few have become nationally recognized musicians. Thousands more have found their adult lives more fulfilling because of all they learned and experienced in their time here.

“I like coming here because you always learn something. Not only do you learn music, you learn about life.” – Matthew Cousins, a former jazz ensemble student who learned saxophone and digital music production at Walker|West. Read more testimonials.

Learn about our  teaching artists offer individual instruction on more than 20 instruments, with lessons available in 10-week sessions throughout the school year.

What we admire the most about the school is that they have high expectations for students and provide opportunities for students to participate in many community activities! ─ Jerry Baptiste, Walker|West parent
