Music lessons have lifelong value for all ages. Learning to play an instrument improves fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination. Practicing helps children learn to focus and organize their days, improves abstract thinking ability, and enhances memory, which can translate into higher academic performance.

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 Maryland, D.C. or Virginia. If a teacher's location is listed as "HMT," that means they give lessons in our new teaching studios located at 7008 Westmoreland Ave, Takoma Park, MD. This is next door to our new store location at 7010 Westmoreland. The studios are upstairs from the Curves gym. This location is walking distance from the Takoma Metro station, and free parking is available in the lot behind our new store.

If you have any questions about our lessons program, or would like to sign up for a class, please email the Lessons Coordinator or call us at 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 contact our Lessons Coordinator.
