Schmitt Music and Eckroth Music have lists of local teachers.

Wilkinson Music is an excellent studio for piano, strings, and flute.

The Chippewa Valley Music Teacher Association is another option for finding instructors.

The Jam is a teen music community (7th-12th grades) that exists to empower and equip young people in the teamwork of playing and creating music. We want to be ennoble young musicians to contribute to the community with their musical talent and knowledge in order to serve and be salt to the earth.

​This is a safe community to try and learn new instruments and/or improve upon instruments you already play through the breakdown of popular songs and "jamming out" together weekly as well as occasional coordinated events and open mic nights.

​Youth that participate in the Jam also learn the basics of stage tech, production, and equipment management and repair.
