Asheville Music SchoolFor a Sound Education

Get Schooled

Asheville Music School is a nonprofit music school now located in West Asheville. Our mission is strengthening communities through music education and outreach, and we welcome anyone who wishes to study music. We do this by offering private music lessons in a wide variety of instruments and styles (ages 4-adult), by nurturing a vibrant space for teachers and musicians to thrive, and by providing unique opportunities for students, such as joining a band and giving back to their community.
