Where Music is Made
Onset School of Music is an upbeat, inspiring, and experienced network of music instructors and musicians serving the Greater Boston area.
Wakefield, MA
Our Mission
For 19 years, we have seen what happens when people have a welcoming place to discover music, develop their talents, meet other musicians, and become part of a community. Now, we want to create even more opportunities for that to happen. Our goal is for Onset School of Music to be the musical hub of our community. A place where a child's first experience with music can begin, where aspiring musicians can grow, where adults can discover something they have always wanted to do, and where people of all ages can come together through music. The first 19 years have shown us what is possible. We are deeply grateful to everyone who has helped make this journey meaningful, and we are incredibly excited about what comes next.
