Lesson Program
Sound comes from the hands. Music comes from the heart.
Band Instruments
We offer lessons for young people and adults. We always have some interest to expand into other activities including groups or ensembles, so if you have interest in these things, please inquire with your teacher.
ABOUT THE PROGRAM
QUESTIONS?
Each teacher at Lakewinds now operates independently. If you are interested in lessons, please send us an email at contact@lakewindsmusic.com or call (715) 409-2047 and we will route your inquiry to the approprate teacher to see if they have availability.
FINANCIAL CONCERNS
If you have financial concerns, please give us a call. We have some scholarships available and will always be looking for ways to make this inclusive for everyone.
While our program offers a lot, we aren't rigid. The beauty of music is how very personal and individual it is, so if you have different needs, give us a call or message. You can contact us at (715) 409-2047 or email contact@lakewindsmusic.com.
HOW TO SIGN UP
FACILITIES
We have two beautiful lesson rooms that we call The Grand Room and The Control Room. The Grand Room earned its name because of the awesome Yamaha baby grand piano we are so fortunate to have. It is on loan to us from our generous neighbors, John Lince-Hopkins and Susan Lince from Arts Squared in Washburn. The Control Room has its name because it also contains the control room for our recording studio.
You will find the accessories you need in our retail store, and get comfortable sipping a warm drink on our couch by the fireplace while you wait for your lesson.
We welcome your thoughts if you have a program idea!
