We take great care in the selection of our music teachers. Every regular HMT teacher must pass an audition and undergo a Maryland State background check. Many of our teachers have advanced music degrees and performing and recording credits as well as years of teaching experience.

Some instructors teach from their homes in the Washington, D.C. metro area. If a teacher's location is listed as "HMT," that means they hold lessons in our teaching studios at 7008 Westmoreland Ave. (next door to our store and upstairs from the Curves gym) Free parking is available in the lot behind our store.

If you have any questions about our lessons program, or would like to sign up for private lessons, please email the Lessons Coordinator at lessons@hmtrad.com or call 301-270-9090.

We also offer music workshops throughout the year, run by our own teachers or visiting guest teachers. If you are interested in conducting a workshop, please email our Workshop Coordinator at workshops@hmtrad.com. To get notice about upcoming workshops and group classes, subscribe to our mailing list!

To sign up for any of the workshops listed below, you can download our registration form and either email, fax or mail back to us (contact info is on the form). If it is less than 3 days before the workshop, we recommend you call us at 301-270-9090 to register. (Register early -- workshops can often fill up!) We ask for payment information with your registration -- either a credit card number or check -- which is processed shortly before the workshop. This holds your space and helps us guarantee attendance to the instructor.

If you have questions or would like more information on any workshops, email workshops@hmtrad.com or call 301-270-9090.
