About Us

We put Musicians First

No two lessons are the same because no two musicians are the same.  We emphasize providing lessons that are tailored to the unique needs and goals of each student.

Our team of skilled teachers work closely with musicians to create a personalized lesson that suits  music interests, learning styles, and pace for every student.

We believe that music is a powerful force that brings people together, and our studio fosters a warm and inclusive environment where musicians can connect, collaborate, and inspire.

Waldron’s Studio 88 takes pride in our commitment to excellence in music, fostering a vibrant community of musicians, and providing opportunities for expression.

Frequently Asked Questions

We currently have skilled teachers offering private lessons in piano, voice, guitar, bass, ukulele, violin, cello, flute, percussion, and more. Lessons are 30 minutes each and typically held at the same time each week. We are also happy to schedule short-term lessons for audition prep, performance coaching, and any other needs. 
Group lessons also possible upon request.

Students of all ages are welcome. Whether you’ve been making a life-time of music and simply want a refresher or want to try an instrument for the first time, we are here to support you! It’s never too late at Studio 88!
And it’s never too early, either! We have teachers with expertise in teaching musicians as young as three. Often, those lessons consist of music-based play, introductions to simple theory and ear training, as well as trying many instruments to learn what the student is interested in. 

All students pay their teachers directly. All accept cash and check, many also accept some form of electronic payment. Lessons can be paid on a monthly or weekly basis.

We understand that unexpected things can come up and sometimes you may need to cancel a lesson due to illness, weather, or other reasons. If this happens, we will do our best to reschedule the lesson for a later date that works for the student and teacher. However, please keep in mind that last-minute cancellations may require payment to ensure our teachers are compensated for their time. We value our teachers as much as we value our students.

Our All Ages Open Mic night is held the last Wednesday of every month and everyone is invited! You don’t need to be a student to perform, and you don’t have to know someone to enjoy!
Sign-ups begin at 7pm and music kicks off at 7:30. Most times, our youngest musicians perform first to accommodate early bedtimes. Though we do have coffee available, we understand not everyone can stay the full length of the performances. Please feel welcome to come and leave in a way that suits your family!
There is no cost for performing or attending, but donations are encouraged!

Our Community Vocal Group takes the idea of Community Chorus to a new level! We invite all ages, all voice parts, AND all instruments! We get together to jam every Wednesday from 7-8pm (except Open Mic Night). Under the direction of owner, Derek Waldron, we pick songs together, learn harmonies, pick soloists, and perform songs we pick together. 
Everyone is welcome. Sign-up or just stop by, we’ll have your music waiting.
