Welcome to Ars Musica
Ars Musica
Music lessons built around the musician.
Piano, organ, and general music instruction in Duluth, Minnesota.
Ars Musica offers individualized music study for children and adults, from first lessons through advanced study. Teaching is structured, flexible, and designed around how each student learns, communicates, moves, and makes music.
Accessibility is part of the teaching method. Disabled and neurodivergent musicians are especially welcome, and disability disclosure is never required.
The Teaching Studio
Private study is available in piano, organ, improvisation, music theory, conducting, repertoire, and general musicianship.
Playing, listening, notation, theory, movement, improvisation, and other approaches provide different ways into music. Students develop strong musical skills without being required to learn through a single method or sequence.

Accessible Music Study
Accessibility is not a separate program at Ars Musica. Lessons can adapt communication, pacing, materials, physical interaction with the instrument, sensory environment, and ways of demonstrating musical understanding.
Students do not need a diagnosis, documentation, or disability disclosure to ask for an adaptation.
Tuition & Enrollment
Weekly lessons are available in several lengths, with 60-minute study serving as the standard format for most students. Monthly tuition reserves a regular place in the studio and remains consistent throughout the year.
Every new student may begin with a free 30-minute consultation before deciding whether to enroll.
