The Berkshire Music School, founded in 1940, has been serving the greater Berkshire County community for 85 years out of our location at 30 Wendell Ave in Pittsfield. We offer private lessons on any instrument, Community Group Classes on a pay-what-you-wish basis, and special programs for people of all ages, backgrounds, and experience levels. We believe that every student, no matter finances, should be able to receive a quality music education.
