Instructors are available for piano, violin, viola, cello, and guitar lessons, using a variety of methods, including Suzuki and traditional. We empower our teachers to adapt their approach to each student's age, experience, and personality.

Can Siblings Share Lesson Time?
Absolutely! We welcome siblings to share lesson time, making it a delightful opportunity for family members to embark on their musical journey together. To sweeten the deal, we offer a discount for time added beyond the initial 30 minutes, making it an even more attractive option for families. It's a popular choice to have one child explore the world of violin while the other begins their adventure with piano. Whichever combination you choose, we're here to make your musical experience unforgettable and harmonious for the whole family.

A Music Program Designed for Long-Term Success
For more than a decade, City Strings & Piano has helped thousands of students build confidence, develop new skills, and discover a lifelong love of music. While every student learns at their own pace, we've found that consistency is one of the biggest factors in long-term success.
When you're matched with a teacher, we'll help establish a regular weekly lesson time that works well for your family's schedule. Having the same lesson time each week makes it easier to build music into your routine, and students who practice consistently, even for shorter periods several days a week, often make the greatest progress.
Our relationship with your family doesn't end after your first lesson. We encourage open communication between families and teachers, whether you have questions about practicing, scheduling, or your child's progress. In addition, our office is available to provide support and help ensure your experience is a positive one from the first lesson onward.
We believe great music education is built on more than exceptional teachers. It's built on lasting relationships, consistent encouragement, and a learning experience that keeps students motivated year after year.
The Twin Cities are home to a remarkably active music community, from professional orchestras and university programs to strong school and youth ensembles throughout the metro. For families balancing school, work, sports, and activities across Minneapolis, St. Paul, and the surrounding suburbs, getting to another weekly appointment can be a challenge. In-home lessons make it easier to take advantage of the region’s rich musical culture without adding another drive to your schedule. Our local teachers bring that experience directly to your home, helping students build strong fundamentals, prepare for school and ensemble opportunities, or simply enjoy making music as part of everyday life.
Featured Students in Minneapolis-St. Paul
Congratulations to 17 year old Matthew McNamara for receiving a superior rating at the Minnesota State High School League Solo and Ensemble Festival! Matthew was honored with a score of 39/40 for his performance of J.S. Bach's Arioso for solo cello. He received specific praise for his "lovely, even vibrato and sound". Matthew is a junior representing Mounds View High School in Arden Hills, MN.
When asked what he believes has been his toughest challenge in practicing the cello, he responded that bow control and contact point have been his focus. He is most proud of accomplishing a sense of ease in his shifting, and developing the ability to choose his own fingerings. Matthew is currently a student of Dr. Courtney Elizabeth Bell in Minneapolis-Saint Paul.
