We have been taking music together class with teacher Monica for the past 2 plus years. My toddler has loved it and he has grown to be a very musical preschooler

MCNW has a great Suzuki violin program. Besides having great teachers who are gentle and encouraging, there are also weekly group classes that give students a chance to practice together. These have helped our son not feel isolated in his learning, and has helped him get used to playing with others as a group. There are also frequent performance opportunities here, both solo as well as with the group. The group holiday performances are especially fun! This was one of the only programs we found that gives younger kids a chance to learn an instrument (our son started around 3). My impression is that though progress may be slower at younger ages, early exposure helped our son get accustomed to practice and being on stage, and it can be fun when music becomes a family activity. The Bravo Summer Camps have also been rewarding for our son, and have become a regular Summer program for him. We've been here for several years now and have been consistently impressed with the quality and care in instruction. We feel very lucky to have found MCNW!

Thank you so much for continuing to take covid precautions to protect immunocompromised people and our whole community ❤️ We continue to take precautions seriously as family in healthcare and with a small child so it really makes me happy to feel comfortable about bringing our child for indoor music classes knowing you're doing all you can to protect everyone.

We so appreciated Music Center of the Northwest offering covid safe outdoor music classes for our little ones in the summer. We continue to appreciate them taking precautions as much as possible such as masking indoors and updating HEPA filters to protect those who are vulnerable. Thank you for all you do!
