After School - The Village Music School

Music is Powerful! Learn about how The Village Music School’s small group after school guitar and piano “clubs” can be a valuable part of your children or grandchildren’s aftercare program, or enroll them here or at the bottom of this page today!

Having quality enrichment programs at your after-school center is the key to having happy children and happy parents. We are currently offering After School Music Club lessons at schools in or near Chicago, Boston, New York City, the District of Columbia, Connecticut, Minneapolis, as well as in Bellevue, Puyallup, and Tacoma WA. Ask your school’s after care organization about adding The Village Music School’s lessons to the options for your children!

At The Village Music School, we believe after school music programs are an excellent opportunity for young musicians to expand their musical horizons through small music clubs. They have the opportunity to perform as well as work in small groups with teachers who have exceptional performing experience.

Classes in guitar andpiano are offered currently. Classes in other instruments may be offered if requested. After school care centers that offer our programs will be encouraged to have the students perform for their classmates at the end of the year.

All genres of music are included as part of the program so that students get a well-rounded artistic experience. The music clubs pick up where existing school music programs leave off, a chance for students to get that extra attention and increased opportunity to perform.

Class Size And Length

We will run a program with as few as 4 children, and our class size will not exceed a ratio of 10 to 1. Classes meet once a week for 45 minutes. The cost is $24.75 per child per class. We can run the classes in whatever length session the After School Center offers, i.e. 6 weeks, 8 weeks, 10 weeks, etc. Also note that if the fee presents a barrier for you, your family may be eligible for tuition assistance from The Village Music School Foundation: https://thevmsf.org/tuition-assistance/ . If you are interested in their assistance, you must apply to determine your eligibility before your child begins afterschool music lessons.

Ask you child’s after school program director about adding The Village Music School’s classes to the menu! Or sign up below for classes about to begin.

Recitals

At the conclusion of spring sessions we hold recitals in order to showcase the achievements of our students. You can see videos from our Spring 2020 recitals here. And when you sign up your children for our After School group lessons, you will be able to watch them perform as well!

"We have used The Village Music School for over ten years for our after-school guitar and piano classes, and we could not be happier!"

I want to express how much my children have enjoyed having Sean and Dan teach music lessons at the Grew! My son Jaxon plays guitar with Sean and my daughter, Zoe plays piano with Dan. They have loved this experience! I hope this will continue for next September at the Grew.

The Village Music School has been offering instrumental music classes at Stoddert extended-day for over five years. Their prices are competitive, and we have watched as their enrollment has climbed every year. They offer financial aid through The VMS Foundation so that all families can have their children participate. Most important of all, the parents and children are very pleased with the service, and we anticipate continuing our relationship into the foreseeable future.
