One-on-one music lessons with an inviting, knowledgeable, and passionate music teacher. All genres, all instruments and experience levels!
Our students need in-person learning with peers to get back on track for 2025. Why not do it through music! Class time and age restriction varies.
Need a space to run a quick rehearsal before a gig? Want to practice without disturbing your neighbors? New to New Orleans, or born and bred and just want to make music? We got you covered!
We are a local uptown New Orleans music school open to all instruments, all skill levels, ages 5 years old and up including adults, all genres, and all learning styles. We offer flexible scheduling and are conveniently located off Freret Street. We offer singing lessons, piano lessons, violin lessons, and more! Each of our teachers are experienced, professional, and passionate working Nola musicians directly feeding music back into our community.
We also support musicians and teachers who just need a place to practice and work. We rent rehearsal space for individual practicing and bands. Each room comes fully equipped and with rates starting as low as $10.00!
Spreading the Music stays open year-round and does NOT follow the traditional school schedule. That means we’re open all summer long, right up until Thanksgiving week. We’re continuoulsy accepting students for the 2025-2026 school year.
