MacPhail Center for Music Expands to Chanhassen

Via an August 8 MacPhail Center for Music e-newsletter:

With sites already in Minneapolis, White Bear Lake and Apple Valley, MacPhail is now expanding to Chanhassen. The new site is located across the street from the Chanhassen Dinner Theatres and will open in January 2014. However, MacPhail will begin offering lessons in the Chanhassen High School this fall until the new site is ready.

"We are proud to welcome MacPhail Center for Music to downtown Chanhassen," says Tom Furlong, city of Chanhassen mayor. "As a premier organization, MacPhail Center for Music will complement other successful organizations in our area that are promoting the theater, music and arts."

Offerings at Chanhassen will include individual lessons for ages 5-adult in flute, clarinet, oboe, saxophone, trumpet, French horn, trombone, percussion, voice, piano, guitar, violin, viola and cello; Suzuki talent education beginning as early as 3 to 6 years in violin and cello; group lessons for all ages; music therapy for all ages; Early Childhood Music for ages 6 weeks to 8 years. (Early Childhood Music classes will be held at the Family Learning Center in Chaska until the new site opens in January.)
