About Us
Dr. Dolores August
Founder’s Notes
August Music Services was formed after visiting a bridal show and discovering that live musicians were few and far between. It is our mission to keep live music as an integral part of our community events, including but not limited to church services, weddings, funerals, and private parties. The music lesson portion of August Music Services began with my husband and I teaching privately, but soon expanded to include numerous teachers over several states, and includes an online virtual option for those that live outside of the serviced areas or for those that prefer that format. In order to give back to our community, an ongoing project for need-based scholarships are currently under way. If you are interested in helping fund this venture, please feel free to reach out. We would love to hear from you. We hope we may be able to welcome you to the August Music Services family.

Testimonials
"I'm using some of my free time to brush up on my musical abilities. I use local Newtonite Dolores August's services, hope you'll find her and her teachers helpful too! I highly recommend them." -Bryan Barash, Politician
"I can't recommend Dolores August highly enough. She taught piano to my children and when the pandemic happened she didn't skip a beat. She now meets with my boys on a digital platform twice each week. She is patient and kind and an incredibly talented teacher. If you are thinking about all kinds of music lessons for your kids (not just piano) don't hesitate!"
- Allison Barry, Rabbi

"It was a joy to work with August Music Services. I contacted Dolores over the phone and via email. She was always kind, courteous, and responded quickly to any questions or requests I had. Coordination on the day of the wedding was stream-lined and efficient. Our group was able to focus completely on performing because everything had been taken care of in advance. I would love to work with August Music Services again." -Glori Vela, String Quartet Contractor
