Program – Bill Dittlinger, Music Encounters, was our speaker today. Bill states, “I started Music Encounters because of my love for music, and what it has done for me personally throughout my life.” I began to offer lessons to children of acquaintances in the community and realized the positive impact it was having on their lives as well. From there, I formed an entire team devoted to offering a positive and encouraging learning atmosphere for any generation. 

At Music Encounters (ME), we teach musical instruments. We want our students to become proficient, and we have amazing teachers that can help them get there. We teach things like piano, voice, and guitar, to name a few.

Although we want you to develop musically, what’s most important to us is that you become the very best version of yourself. We do this by walking side by side with you. We want you to figure out who you want to be and where you want to take this journey while you’re here with us.

We open our doors to everyone – from the retired person, finally taking the time to learn that instrument they’ve always wanted to learn, to the child struggling to focus in school.

One thing’s for sure: We’ve got something special here, and we know once you walk through our doors, you’ll agree.
