At Clearwater Music Lessons our vision is to see each student fall in love with music
as they grow in their musical skills and abilities.
We realize that everyone has their unique purpose for taking music lessons. Some have aspirations to be the next great music superstar or have the goal of passing their college entrance audition while others simply wish to take up an instrument more casually- maybe just as a hobby. Whatever your dream we put your goals first and create a comprehensive curriculum that helps you reach those goals.
