Music has the power to inspire, build confidence and foster lifelong learning – and Dearborn is rich with opportunities for young musicians. From playful early-childhood classes to advanced orchestral ensembles and rock band training, local families have access to a wide variety of music programs tailored to kids and teens.
Read on for the best music classes for kids and teens in Dearborn.
Dearborn Youth Symphony
- Address: 15801 Michigan Ave., Dearborn
For aspiring young instrumentalists (ages 8–20), DYS offers a stellar orchestral experience. Admission is by audition, and students can participate in ensembles such as Philharmonic Orchestra, Chamber Orchestra, and Flute Choir.
Rehearsals run from September to May, culminating in three concerts per season at the Ford Community & Performing Arts Center. Professional mentors from regional orchestras support students in sectional rehearsals, offering real-world guidance and encouragement.
Music Authority School of Achievers
- Address: 25135 W. Warren Ave., Dearborn Heights
Located just minutes from Dearborn, Music Authority specializes in both private lessons (piano, guitar, violin, drums, voice, woodwinds, brass) and group classes for ages 3 1⁄2–18.
Ford Community & Performing Arts Center
- Address: 15801 Michigan Ave. Dearborn
The City of Dearborn sponsors seasonal music and performing-arts classes for youth (often offered in fall/winter/spring activity guides). Although more general than specialty music instruction, they may include introductory ensemble experiences, chorus, or movement-based programs for younger children.
Dearborn Symphony
- Address: 6 Parklane Blvd., No. 670, Dearborn
While primarily concert-focused, the Dearborn Symphony runs several youth initiatives:
- Children’s Concert Series: Offers live orchestra exposure for elementary-age students, sometimes featuring instruments from the family heritage of local students to foster cultural connection.
- Youth Artists Solo Competition: Provides dedicated classical students a chance to audition, win scholarship support ($500), and perform as a featured soloist with the Dearborn Symphony.
These programs are ideal for students already taking private lessons and seeking inspiration or performance goals.
