History
The School of Musical Traditions was created to expand the lesson program of the House of Musical Traditions, who specializes in acoustic, world & folk musical instruments and has been a fixture in the Washington, D.C. area music scene since 1972.
Specialties
The School of Musical Traditions offers personalized private & duo lessons, group classes & workshops in a wide range of instruments, genres, and traditions - piano, guitar, voice, violin, bass, banjo, mandolin, ukulele in traditional folk, rock, blues, pop, jazz, classical, and more! We believe that anybody can learn to play music! We work with students ages 6 and older, including adults who are well into retirement. We are committed to inclusivity and do not discriminate based on race, national origin, religion, sex, gender identity (including gender expression), sexual orientation, disability, or age. We teach students at all ability levels, whether you are just getting started with an instrument for the first time, or are seeking instruction to reach a higher level of playing. Many of our students take lessons for the express purpose of making music for their own enjoyment. We also teach students who develop careers as performers, teachers and recording artists. Our teachers span a very wide range of musical interests and abilities. All of us are passionate about the idea that music can be enjoyed by everyone. Whatever your own goals are, we are excited to welcome you to our studio!
