Music and Arts for the Pacific Northwest

Peterson Conservatory of Music and Arts has promoted excellence in the arts in Northwest Washington for 16 years! Our convenient location at Salem Lutheran Church in Mount Vernon is ideal for private/class instruction in piano, orchestral instruments and voice. Camps and specialty musical training events for youth and adult musicians are held at other venues during each season.

Starry Night Chamber Orchestra, made up of Conservatory faculty and outstanding guest performers, performs in various configurations throughout the year, bringing a high level of professional live performance to the Northwest.

Director's Notes

Hello again to our Peterson Conservatory students, friends, and families! We re-opened last fall for in-person lessons at Salem Lutheran church in Mount Vernon. Our teachers are enrolling new and returning students for private lessons. Although we really look forward to seeing you in person, there will still be an option to have Zoom lessons with individual instructors, so please contact them directly for information.

Humans are musical creatures, as is even illustrated by the rhythmic beating of our hearts, and the change in our emotions when we hear different moods of music! Music also sharpens our brain function and neurological connections with fine motor movement. Soothing kinds of music have been found to increase serotonin levels in infants and indeed in all ages. These benefits are especially connected to the learning and performance of instruments and song. For youth, who are now especially quite hungry for social interaction, participation in a musical ensemble meets all of the criteria above plus added enjoyment of creating music with friends! It is definitely time to get involved again. We at PCMA welcome you warmly!
