Meet our 2026-2027 instructor team. Ms. Saralyn has been teaching violin/fiddle at the Quest Center since 2024. “I’m excited to continue my involvement with the Quest Center. Growing up, music was a constant staple in my home and I committed to the fiddle at age 12. I continue to find teaching one of the most rewarding parts of musicianship and am excited to invest in Tennessee’s next generation of players!” Our fall semester begins the week of Sept 7. Registration is now open at https://www.qcdickson.org/2026-fall-class-registration-form. Wanna learn to play but don’t own an instrument? No problem! We provide a limited number of violins at no cost for students to use in-class and at-home, and no child is ever turned away for financial reasons. This is an extraordinary opportunity for your student but space is limited. You can check out Saralyn’s upcoming class schedule at https://www.qcdickson.org/2026-fall-class-registration-form. Spread the word with families you know whose children are ages 9-18. Additional questions? Please contact [email protected].

2026 Community Road Trip #4. THANK YOU Oakmont ES! Yesterday we had the privilege to meet with 4th and 5th grade students at OES. Both sessions began wth a show-&-tell of stringed instruments, then each student had the opportunity to hold and play a guitar. And as always, the session wrapped up with a high-energy jam that featured guitars, tubanos, tamborines, maracas and a whole lot of clapping. We hope the kids had as much fun as we did! Our after-school classes at OES begin September 9 and are held every Wednesday when school is in session from 3:15-4:00. No child is ever turned away for financial reasons and space is limited. This is an extraordinary opportunity for your child, so please be on the lookout for registration information given to your student. Please contact [email protected] with any additional questions.

It’s one of our favorite times of the year! Over the next two weeks we’ll be visiting with 4th and 5th grade students at each of the Dickson County Schools - and it’s going to be a BLAST! We'll be bringing a bunch of instruments for HANDS-ON learning and playing music TOGETHER. If you’re looking for an after-school activity that's affordable, educational, creative and fun - and your child attends any to these schools - be on the look-out for information about our after-school guitar classes at your student's school.
