From the Director - Diller-Quaile School of Music


Kirsten MorganWelcome to The Diller-Quaile School of Music—a community music school founded by pianists Angela Diller and Elizabeth Quaile in 1920. For nearly a century, the School's faculty and staff have been cultivating the musical potential in each student and fostering a sense of musicianship and artistry. Whether you are beginning your musical journey, continuing a devoted practice and study, or rekindling a passion, we want to inspire your lifelong participation in music.

Toward this end, the School offers varied and comprehensive opportunities to guide your study including: music for infants, music and art classes for young children, individual and group lessons for instrumentalists and singers of all ages, ensemble and performance opportunities, the high school certificate program, adult chamber music workshops, graduate level teacher training courses, and evening and weekend concerts. Explore the offerings outlined in the pages that follow. Each is designed with the individual in mind, and each promotes musical growth—the development of knowledge, skills, and expressivity—within a vibrant, caring, and engaging school culture.

We are pleased to provide program advisement. Come join us for a joyful and enriching year of music making at Diller-Quaile.

Kirsten Morgan, Executive Director
