MacPhail classes provide a supportive group environment, giving students of all ages the opportunity to begin or continue their musical development as part of a community.

Classes for Children

Whether you are a MacPhail Early Childhood Music graduate or brand new to the MacPhail community, classes for children are an excellent option for children beginning their instrumental or vocal study. Classes for children introduce musical concepts to students in a fun, relaxed environment through games, songs, movement and rhythm. Children learn the basics of singing or how to play an instrument in a small group setting.

Classes for Teens

For teens, classes can be a wonderful alternative to individual lessons, allowing students to learn a new instrument or develop their vocal skills with their peers in a social setting. Beginning instrument and voice classes are offered for both teens in a variety of musical styles (classical, pop, jazz, folk.) As a supplement to individual lessons, classes provide students the opportunity to study topics that are difficult to cover in a 30 – minute private lesson.

Classes for Adults

Classes are an excellent way for adults to begin or continue their study of music. MacPhail offers many classes exclusively for adult learners taught by faculty who specialize in working with adults. Beginning classes for various instruments and voice are offered in a variety of music styles such as classical, jazz or music theater. Students can opt to take a class for one semester or continue with the same group of students for multiple years.
