A Supportive Musical Community
Explore our Early Childhood (Ages 3–4) Parent & Me classes!
Using play and curiosity, we will study how music and sound work, how ensemble playing works, the best frame of mind for performance and practice, and the theory of music. We may explore writing our own songs, singing songs in canons and with descants, and using the solfeggio hand signs to sing together. Our goals are to increase musicianship, awareness of others, and collaboration and cooperation skills.
Piano lessons
The WeMA Piano Program is designed to nurture both musical excellence and a love for learning. Students can choose from private lessons, group classes, or a combination of both, creating a learning experience that fits their goals and stage of development. Along the way, they build strong piano skills while engaging in music theory, ear training, and musicianship classes that deepen understanding and strengthen overall musical growth.
For students seeking a more advanced path, WeMA offers high-quality instruction and individualized guidance to help them reach their full potential. Advanced students may pursue goals such as Certificate of Merit, competitions, auditions, and other performance opportunities, while developing the technical mastery, artistic expression, and confidence needed for continued musical success. Whether a student is just beginning or preparing for advanced study, our program provides a supportive and inspiring environment in which to grow.
Chamber Music
At its heart, chamber music is a musical conversation that unfolds in real time. Unlike large ensembles, where a conductor leads the group, chamber musicians listen closely to one another, communicate through their instruments, and shape the music together. Through this process, students learn to collaborate, respond, and express artistic ideas with both confidence and sensitivity. Chamber music is one of the most rewarding forms of music-making, fostering musicianship, friendship, and a deeper appreciation for the joy of creating something beautiful together.
Performance opportunities
Music comes alive when it is shared. At WeMA, performance is an important part of the learning experience. Students are encouraged to share their musical growth through a variety of performance opportunities throughout the year, including student recitals, chamber music concerts, and special events. With access to beautiful venues such as Deane Chapel and Porter Theatre at Westmont College, students gain valuable experience performing in inspiring settings while building confidence, artistry, and a love for sharing music with others.
