Preparatory School of Music

Welcome to the NEW Eastern University Preparatory School of Music!

We are so glad you've found us and invite you to join in the musical activities starting at Eastern in the fall.  We are committed to excellence and joy in music, and here you will find both, working with a terrific faculty from the Eastern University Music Department in the beautiful mansion of Workman Hall.  Our music students will study with professional musicians trained at such prominent schools as Curtis and Juilliard, who are not only wonderful performers, but also devoted teachers.

We'll focus primarily on private instruction, offering lessons for strings, woodwinds, brass and piano. In addition to this, we will offer chamber music coaching for suitably matched trios and quartets of students, encouraging them to make music together under the guidance of a private coach. There is always such richness in creating music together.

Please continue to explore our website for more information.  We hope to see you soon!

With warm regards,
Rachel Kuipers Yonan
Director
