Beginner Lessons

      Come and learn what lessons will be like.  
Group and private lessons for beginning students are offered on band and orchestra instruments including flute, clarinet, saxophone, trumpet, trombone, violin, viola, and cello.  Chris Wolken has 25 years experience working with groups of young students and has found this is a great way for young students to experience the fun of learning and playing with others. The pressure is off the student as an individual and everyone is learning something new together.  
     Private lessons are also offered for those who prefer more individual attention.
     There will be an opportunity for students to perform as a group each year.

About the Instructor, Chris Wolken

Picture
Chris Wolken conceived Pathway to Music while teaching music in public schools.  With increasing cuts to music programs and with focus on state testing, she saw a need to provide young students with music lessons that will give them the ability to play a musical instrument.  She has played flute with the Columbia Symphony Orchestra for 17 years and  has 25 years experience teaching band and orchestra in the Gresham Barlow and Reynolds School Districts. 
She is passionate about connecting students with an instrument!
