Settlement Music School

Apr 2026

My 5yo has been going to Settlement for a few years now. She loves it! The group classes offer creativity and fun all while still learning. During her private lessons, her and her teacher, Shelley Beard Santore, make magic through music. It is remarkable how my daughter’s excitement from her lesson continues throughout the week and into other areas of life. Settlement also works intentionally to develop a community of musical belonging. I truly believe there is a place for everyone at Settlement and highly recommend!

My son has now been attending Settlement Music School for almost 2 years now and he completely enjoys it. The time and dedication that his teacher Shelley Beard shows is incredible.

My daughter has had an incredible experience with Settlement music school. Since she started lessons with Shelley Beard Santore her playing has leveled up dramatically. Also Settlement has tons of opportunities for the kids to play together and to perform. My daughter is in the advanced studies program and she absolutely loves playing chamber music with her peers at the school. Can't recommend Settlement enough!
