At SoundTide Music School, our mission is to educate the whole musician through private lessons and chamber ensembles that teach the art of mastering and performing music from beginner to advanced levels.

All SoundTide teachers are certified, professional educators and tailor each lesson or ensemble session to the needs of the student. Every SoundTide student receives an individualized curriculum with music designed with scaffolded learning to fit the ability level and interests of the student.

SoundTide presents a safe and enthusiastic learning environment for all ages, which is proud to include ADT video surveillance on-site, used exclusively for evaluating the effectiveness of the music instruction and maintaining the safety of our students and teachers.

History of SoundTide Music

SoundTide Music School was named after the national lakeshore, connecting it to Portage, Indiana, and the Indiana Dunes. With a vision for students to achieve excellence in music and performance, we interact with prestigious, professional ensembles, such as the Civitas Ensemble, to give our students the opportunity to see and experience music at the professional level - a level we encourage our students to work towards. Opportunities like this are only at SoundTide!
