Lifelong Learning

Wharton Arts announces the launch of a new division of study with its Lifelong Learning program during the 2021-22 season.

In response to the growing community need for more and better opportunities to improve quality of life and outlets to stay fulfilled and connected throughout one’s lifetime, Wharton Arts is offering in-person and online group classes as well as private and semi-private music lessons for adults of all ability levels.

Lifelong Learning at Wharton Arts will not only further our mission to offer accessible, high quality performing arts education that sparks personal growth and builds inclusive communities, but looks to help ease fears often associated with the challenge of learning new skills, regardless of age.

Taught by Wharton’s esteemed Performing Arts School faculty, this program is considered invaluable to adults seeking vital social participation and sustained growth and emotional well-being. Wharton Arts offers private instruction in all instruments and voice.

For a limited time, Wharton Arts is offering a special $25 discount for adult students.
