PRESCHOOL PRODIGIES® for our Youngest students
We believe that a child's music education should begin early in life. Woodridge Music studio partners with Prodigies Music® to bring early childhood music education to young children. Preschool Prodigies® is for our youngest students, around ages 3 – 5. We offer private one-on-one lessons, or a class setting with students in the same age group. Prodigies® is a great way to start a young child on a path of discovering music before choosing an instrument.

multiple studio rooms to meet your musical needs
We offer 3 different studio rooms to meet your musical needs: a beautiful Yamaha grand for intermediate and advanced students; a Yamaha Clavinova for digital students, (and those wishing to try their hand at composing on the latest version of Finale®), and an acoustic upright for beginners and intermediate students. For instrumental lessons not needing a piano, there is generous space for comfortable lessons.

We offer exceptional student recitals twice a year in beautiful local churches. Some recitals are based on a theme such as Christmas, or “Dress the Piece”. Students have a lot of fun dressing like the piece they are performing, or dressing up from that piece’s time period. All of our recitals are free of charge and open to the public. We encourage all friends and family members to attend and support their favorite musicians.
