Classes for Adults

Now is the perfect time to re-connect with music, or explore a new interest!

Have you always wanted to learn an instrument? Did you play music back in high school or college and then get so busy that you lost touch with something you loved? Are you recently retired and eager to make music a bigger part of your life? Lucy Moses School makes it easy and fun for adult musicians at all levels – from absolute beginners to players at all levels looking to develop their skills.

Lucy Moses School is well known for its excellent teachers and a nurturing, supportive environment; our adult students frequently describe the school as “like a second home.” Our Adult Division Manager, Alicia Andrews, carefully matches each private lesson student with a faculty member suited to their skill level, schedule, learning style and musical interests. Most of our classes are senior-friendly.
