“It’s life-changing, and it’s never too late!” says one of our piano students about pursuing music as an adult. We agree!
Some hesitations we’ve heard from other adults?
- I don’t have time to learn an instrument.
- The younger students will judge me.
- I’ll never be able to pick it up quick enough.
- I’m not the musical one in my family.
You know yourself pretty well – your strengths and limitations, what interests you, how you learn best. Choosing a lesson teacher or a group program as an adult is sort of like trying on shoes – even if you’re not quite sure what you’re looking for, you know when it’s a good fit.
If your schedule is packed with family, work, or travel commitments, you’ll find options like private lessons, the chamber music program or Irish sessions with Ellery flexible enough to fit in.

Ready to be brave and try something new? Try a theory, adult piano, modal music sessions, or lessons in almost any instrument you’ve got your eye on.
Learn to play, or play to learn – there’s still time for something life-changing.
