The Opal community is designed to bring kids together for more than weekly lessons and practicing; we strive to get our students up and performing in front of each other often, and to offer events and activities that highlight the connections between music and art.
Students at Opal Music Studio participate in recitals, masterclasses, and student achievement juries, as well as social activities like Music Game Nights and themed concerts, bringing all of our studios together with music. Learn more
Young Musicians is a small-group class for musicians ages 3 ½ to 5 years old, designed to build a love of music and a strong musical foundation in our youngest students. Children who love music and are excited to start playing an instrument will adore this class. Our course moves students toward individual lesson readiness by including basics of piano and/or violin playing, as well as larger concepts vital to music study, like developing practicing habits and performance etiquette. Young Musicians at Opal is an ideal way to get your young child ready to study piano and violin. Learn more
