Karen Amlaw Music

Since 2005, Karen Amlaw Music (KAM) has been offering quality music instruction to students from MetroWest and beyond.

Proud to be recognized by Hulafrog as the area's Most Loved Music Lessons three years in a row and nominated as a Top Music School by Baystate Parent in 2018, KAM now has offerings for young musicians as well as the young at heart - age 4 to adult - in bass, guitar, piano, ukulele, violin, and voice / singing. In addition to private lessons KAM offers Kids on Keys for 4 - 8 year olds and Intro. to Singing with age appropriate music for 2nd through 5th graders.

KAM's over 140 students include multiple young artist competition winners, district and all-state musicians, members of music theater and opera casts, and more. A student of KAM's director Karen Amlaw has won first place in his division two years in a row at the Young Artist Piano Competition in Westfield, MA; Marc DeMille, one of KAM's voice instructors, laid the foundation for the career of the winner of a national opera competition in 2015, for example.

KAM's instructors have over 150 combined years of experience in the industry as both performers and music educators. Music making is their passion - they take pride in passing on such joys to their students. They are frequently sought after to adjudicate festivals and scholarship / young artist competitions throughout the state and have performed throughout the world in venues from local sporting events to Symphony Hall, Carnegie Hall, the Kennedy Center, and more - often sharing the stage with fellow nationally and internationally acclaimed artists.

Dedicated to supporting the best musical experience, in every studio KAM students have the opportunity to learn on regularly maintained pianos from some of the best makers in the world including Steinway, Mason & Hamlin, and a beautiful fully rebuilt Ivers & Pond baby grand.

A proud supporter of the arts and education in central MA, KAM sponsors top prizes in the piano and vocal categories for Worcester Schubertiade's Annual Classical Idol Competition for high school and college students and family concerts provided by such groups as the Worcester Chamber Music Society, as well as supports the Westborough FIne Arts Education Association and several other school programs in neighboring towns.

In addition to recitals for current students, new this year, KAM is hosting Community Showcases, performance opportunities for KAM grads, their neighbors and friends, and anyone else in the MetroWest community who wants to come share their talents - like open mike, but in an intimate setting without the mike. Just one more way KAM will be giving back and contributing to the arts in MetroWest.
