Northwest School of Music offers lessons for the cello, clarinet, drums, electric bass, flute, guitar, piano, voice, viola and violin.[/caption]
In February, the Northwest School of Music will offer students the option of learning to play the ukulele.
The school opened in 2004 and offers lessons for the cello, clarinet, drums, electric bass, flute, guitar, piano, voice, viola and violin. Co-owner Scott Cain said the school expanded by 1,600 square feet in 2013 when it purchased a former chapel next door. The extra space allows the school to host recitals in a performance hall that seats 90 people, he said. Classes include pop and rock ensemble; chamber music, or a string ensemble; and music theory.
The business has 30 instructors, all of whom are required to have at least a bachelors degree in music and teaching experience prior to being hired.
"I think that's a big part of why we've been so successful," he said. "The families realize very quickly, 'Wow, this is a very special person that my child is studying with.'"
