Conservatory of Music

Learning to sing or play a musical instrument can be a life-changing experience. Music lessons have been shown to enhance a student’s growth and learning process. Placing students and teachers together in a musically enriched environment is part of Perkins Center for the Arts’ mission in the arts.

Perkins offers customized individual music lessons by assessing each student’s needs based upon conversations with the student/parent. By matching students with teachers, individualized lesson plans are developed to help facilitate the most positive learning environment possible. For more information about music lessons, teaching styles, and learning opportunities within the Perkins Conservatory of Music, please contact Bryan Williams at bwilliams@perkinscenter.org or at 856-235-6488 ext. 302.
