Meridian Music School, Carmel

The encouraging, informative team at Meridian Music School, a music-education center, beckons visitors to tickle ivory keys with a stock of tuneful pianos, as well as private and group lessons. In addition to piano instruction, the skilled maestros teach students how to wring applause out of audiences using their voices or stringed, brass, and woodwind instruments. Meridian Music School's private performance hall, Goodwin Hall, seats up to 50 people, or one lengthy conga line, during solo and group student recitals.
