I'm Sharon Wenger, and welcome to Maple Avenue Music: in-home music studio and preschool classroom. While I have degrees in both Educational Ministries & Bible, as well as a Minor in Music, I've taught in many different settings. My career started as an urban youth worker, then a music instructor, and finally a preschool teacher. But honestly, I've learned the most about children by becoming a mom!
Hello!
From 2003-2016, my studio simply provided private piano instruction. But then the Christian preschool where I taught closed, leaving no pre-k program for my class of 3 year-olds. After much prayer, God opened the doors for me to offer a pre-k program here through my studio starting in 2017. Surprisingly, this program took off... word spread and classes grew. Now, the 2025-2026 school year marks enrollment of 100 total students since we began in 2017!
Piano instruction is still offered as my schedule allows. Seasonal offerings also arise from time to time, like voice or recorder lessons. Because my studio is small by design, students won't be overlooked in a large class or assigned to another teacher. Our relationship will grow over time, allowing me to discern each child's learning style. I'm also happy to make referrals to more advanced instructors when necessary.
​
I look forward to starting your child on their own journey of learning very soon!
