Fall 2024 Lessons

For fall we are offering our typical semester of 12 lessons/rehearsals on either Monday evenings or Saturdays. Orientation for new students is Saturday, August 17.
Classes will start Monday, August 19.
Here's a link to our teaching dates.

Online  registration  will open shortly for those who didn't attend the drop-in lessons. Click on the Fall 2024 tab when it appears above  for details about our offerings. The link to the registration form will be at the bottom of the page when it is ready.

Interior renovations to St. Paul UMC are ongoing. While the work will take place on weekdays and should minimally impact our teaching spaces, please be prepared for some last minute room changes this fall. 

We're celebrating our 18th year of music ensembles and instruction! We continue to serve every interested child, age 6 to 18, including those with disabilities.

If you believe, as we do, that learning to play an instrument can positively impact a child, please consider supporting Scrollworks with a monetary donation.

Thank you!!


As our student enrollment grew, so did our vision. After learning their basics on an instrument, many Scrollworks students join our ensembles. 

We offer several performing ensembles for both new and returning students. Certain prerequisite skills must be demonstrated and a placement audition may be required. 

Our ensembles:

Metropolitan Youth Orchestra

Chamber Winds

Chamber Strings

Percussion Ensemble

Recorder Ensemble
