The Handmade Music School is asking for your help to make sure learning about traditional music and dancing of southwest Virginia are accessible to anyone interested in learning. Our "Share The Music" program provides access to traditional music lessons, classes, workshops and camps through a scholarship program. Your donations make a REAL difference to our students! If you are able, we ask you to consider a contribution that will help us meet our goal of making all of our programming accessible and available to all.

The Handmade Music School is committed to the health and safety of our community and has suspended all in-person lessons and workshops until further notice. Online lessons with HMS teachers will still be available via Skype or another platform. If you are interested in arranging Skype lessons with one of our teachers, please contact andrew@handmademusicschool.com for details.
