Settlement Music School
Private
Settlement Music School is a nonprofit community music school founded in 1908, with five Philadelphia-area branches (Mary Louise Curtis in Queen Village, Benoliel-Germantown, Kardon-Northeast, Wynnefield and Willow Grove) plus a Camden campus. Most of its summer offering is short weekly evening classes rather than day camp: four- to eight-week courses meeting about an hour a week, including intro guitar, piano, flute, clarinet, harp, voice, dance, music production and youth jazz ensemble, at roughly $155 per course plus a $5 registration fee. The one week-long day camp is the Wynnefield Summer Jazz Camp for ages 12-18, Monday through Friday 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., ending in a final performance ($590). Financial aid is offered and the school encourages any school-age child with need to apply.

★★★★★Jose OyolaThe place to be if you want to learn about music the right way. Great institution, awesome instructors, super nice staff. My son (16) loves it he has been taking lessons since 1st grade. Cool to have a place with such history in our backyard.
★★★★★DB WhiteWonderful school for kids of all ages to learn an instrument with like minded peers! Warm welcoming school nestled off of Knights Road.
★★★★★Michael DiamondKids attend music school here, highly reccomend
★Lele NicoleI called this place and left message to get music class. They never returned my call.
★★★★Christine DonlonExcellent teachers, friendly staff. My children both take lessons here and they both have gained a true love of music. There are many opportunities to learn and grow as a musician. Another perk is that my daughter has made some friends through the ensemble. I will say prices feel a bit high and I wish there was more available at this branch, but overall a great experience!
