We have been teaching music to students in the greater Seattle area for over 20 years.

Students can take the following music classes:

• Music theory

• Music history
• Ear training

The Phinney School of Music has three community orchestras that students can join:

• The Phinney Ridge Orchestra
  
• The Phinney Ridge Youth Orchestra
  
• The Phinney Ridge Cello Group
  

All music groups meet weekly and perform at least three concerts a year. We  also perform in the community at farmer’s markets, nursing homes, and  at the Royal Room.

Students  who play in an ensemble have the opportunity to form chamber groups  with other members, or to play a solo with the orchestra.
