"Settlement Music School is a jewel of a resource for adult students! Their wonderful and caring teachers and staff have helped me restart my cello lessons, which had been neglected over the years. The neighborhood location in Germantown allowed me to meet new friends and fellow students, and continues to provide a sense of community and a wealth of encouragement! I couldn't be happier with my experience at Settlement and the enjoyment this renewed connection to music brings to me and my family." Diana Woodward, Settlement student
