About the School

 

Westport School of Music (WSM) was founded in 1938 and is a member of the National Guild for Community Arts Education. We’re a long-established music school in Connecticut and beyond with the mission of providing quality instruction for people of all ages and abilities, regardless of race, income, ethnicity, or gender.

Westport School of Music is one of Connecticut’s oldest continuing nonprofit schools of music. With a faculty from some of the most prestigious conservatories and university music departments in the country, we’re committed to providing student-centered learning for students throughout Fairfield County. Students receive private lessons every week and several performance opportunities each year.

 


Lessons

Lessons for Children & Youth

A Life-long Love of Music

Our instructors offer classical and jazz piano lessons as well as lessons in voice, strings, woodwinds, acoustic guitar, and electric bass. The goal is to provide a strong technical foundation while instilling self-discipline, encouraging creativity, and fostering a lifelong love of music.


Lessons for Adults

Your Time, Your Schedule

With adult learners, teachers act as more of a coach and mentor, working individually with students to attain their personal goals. Some adults want to return to the instrument they studied as a child; others see music lessons as a new hobby or as a vehicle for overall life enrichment. Students can choose either weekly adult music lessons or a package if they travel frequently. We’re happy to design a schedule that works for you.


Performances & Collaborations

Engaging with Community

Westport School of Music students share their musical gifts by performing for the community in a Student Chamber Music Concert every other March, and for residents of local nursing and healthcare facilities (on-hold till Covid is over). Students from Norwalk Housing Authority Learning Centers take private instrument and group choral lessons at WSM, and our teachers provide music and literacy projects for their learning centers.

“It’s been many years since I was a musician and I always wanted to learn jazz piano. Luckily, I have found an amazing instructor recently at the Westport School of Music. He is a very patient and good teacher and my lesson time just flies by!

I try to arrive a little early to have a chance to warm up in one of the comfortable and charming studios and I am always greeted with a welcoming hello by the staff and other instructors. Such a warm and friendly atmosphere...”

“Both my children have been taking piano lessons at Westport School of Music since the fall of 2018 and I am very impressed with their improvement in less than a year. They were only kindergarteners and just beginning their musical endeavors, but I can tell that the school and instructor are building a strong foundation for them. We love the staff and plan on continuing with lessons here for many years to come.”
