Thank you for visiting Applegate Music in Phoenix, Arizona (USA). I offer instruction in piano, voice (singing), and the recorder for children and adults locally in the Phoenix area and online anywhere.

Learning a musical instrument comes with many benefits. Studies show that playing a musical instrument helps develop children's minds and keeps adult minds active. No matter what your age, learning music can enrich your life in many ways and developing skill on an instrument is an excellent way to gain these benefits.
