Reasons which make us the best choice for you

Focus On Teaching
All we do is teach. We do not sell instruments or music. This leaves us free to specialize in one thing - providing the highest quality of music instruction.

University Trained Teachers
Our instructors are highly qualified and have extensive performance experience. Most importantly, our instructors strive to relate their teaching to each individual student's learning style.

A true sense of community
At the Prairie Oaks School of Music we strive to draw all of our students together into a comfortable and supportive family that just happens to be centered on making music.  Our students and families appreciate the easy-going atmosphere and congenial fellowship of our school.

All Ages - Beginners to Advanced
Our current students range from 3 years old to adult. We take care to teach what you want to learn so music is rewarding for students of all ages and levels.

Private Lessons
Private lessons ensure that the student has the undivided attention of the teacher and can progress at a level suited to them individually.

Suzuki and Traditional Lessons                                                                      Our versatile instructors are trained in Suzuki Pedagogy and have extensive experience teaching students of all ages, learning styles, and levels of experience.  You will find whatever learning environment is best for you at the Prairie Oaks School of Music.

Regular Concerts and Recitals
Recitals and concerts are held at least twice a year. These provide students with performance experience and build confidence.

Theory Classes
Theory and composition classes are included with lessons for all students of middle and high school age.  These classes, focusing on the technical and creative aspects of music, add a vital component to music-making, forming better rounded musicians.

Preschool Music Program (Suzuki "Jump Start")
From the age of 3, children are exposed to the basics of music in a fun and supportive group environment. This program builds a solid foundation for later success in private lessons teaching essential skills for any kind of music making.

Children's Choir
Our choir gives children ages 6-11 the opportunity to learn vocal basics in a fun environment. The choir follows a low pressure format and gives a series of performances throughout the year.

The largest music library in Central Wisconsin                                               Our 1000+ title library of classical music on CD is available free of charge to all students of the Prairie Oaks School of Music.  CDs may be listened to in house or checked out for a week at a time.
