Music that connects, inspires, and grows with you
At Peak Music, students don’t just take lessons, they join a creative community. Our group programs are the heart of what we do: playing with peers, learning from each other, and discovering how fun and inspiring music can be when it’s shared.
Private lessons run year round and help students grow toward ensembles, performances, and recording sessions. With winter ensemble sign ups coming soon, now is the perfect time to start. Our teachers are working performers, songwriters, and producers who bring real experience and energy to every session, creating a space where students learn faster and feel part of something bigger.

Why Families Love Peak Music
“I can't recommend Peak Music enough! My boys (ages 10 and 12) love going to piano and bass lessons each week, and are enthusiastic about practicing at home. The emphasis is much less on route memorization and my kids have both loved learning how to improvise.... it's really a true love of music-making that shines through here! Better yet, they continue giving lessons throughout the summer. We are so lucky to have them in our community!”

"When Peak Music came to town last summer, I enrolled my daughter in weekly classes to help her stay engaged and socialize. What I didn't expect was how much she would love it and how inspired she'd be to continue learning music. She's always excited before and after class! She started with the Foundations of Music and then took the Ukulele Explorers class. Now, she's set on mastering the ukulele before moving to guitar. The instructors are fantastic — they’ve built her confidence and made learning fun. We're so grateful for the positive impact Peak Music has had on her musical journey!"
— Melanie
“As a long time Lamoille county resident I have always found the lack of local musical instruction disturbing. So, when I saw that Stowe was to have a new music school in town, I wasted no time in signing up myself and my son for drum lessons. The experience has been great! Pete & Brandon have assembled a great team in a clean, professional studio. Whether you look to improve your own skills or pass along the gift of music to your child, reach out to Peak Music. I am so glad I did!”
