[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This looks great. I've been thinking of starting my nearly 5-year-old on music lessons in the fall, so might consider this as an option. I'm also in Chevy Chase DC, but we would try it out for a semester, especially at this great price. Is there somewhere to see their class schedule to see if it would work for us? I'm not finding it.

We were in a similar spot to OP a year ago--live in NW (Col Hts which is closer, but still a long commute) and debated whether to sign up for a beginning violin class and make that long drive on Saturdays. In the end we stayed at DCYOP through fall and spring. Our first teacher was not great but second was excellent. The commute (35 min for us) was a hassle, though. Plus we were trying to juggle Stoddert soccer on Saturdays too.

This year because the conflict between soccer and DCYOP is even worse (violin is ~9-10 am, while it was in the afternoon last year) we've decided to try a private teacher through the fall and see how it goes. We will try to stick to the DCYOP lesson plan. Then we may rejoin in spring when the soccer/violin overlap is less.

We did not run into anyone in our neighborhood to carpool with, although maybe that would have happened eventually.  [/quote]
