About Music Education Centers (MEC)

Music Education Centers (MEC) opened its doors in 2004 with the mission of providing a unique music learning experience for those who may have been passed by in traditional school music programs. Founded by Christian Schenk, MEC was originally known as Uncle Andys Place and has since grown to become one of the premier music education centers in the region. Our goal is to create a safe and supportive environment where students can explore their musical interests and develop skills to last a lifetime. We offer comprehensive music lessons and courses that are tailored to fit each student’s needs, helping them to reach their goals and realize their musical potential.

Is online therapy actually effective?
Research shows that for many issues—such as anxiety, depression, stress and relationship difficulties—online therapy can be just as effective as in-person sessions. What often matters most is finding a therapist you connect with and staying consistent over time.

When is online therapy a better fit than in-person?
Online therapy is ideal if you:
  • have a busy or changing schedule,
  • live far from providers or have limited transport,
  • prefer the privacy and comfort of your own space,
  • travel frequently or split time between locations.
For many people, this flexibility is what makes it possible to actually stay in therapy.
Explore flexible online therapy options →
Is online therapy private and secure?
Reputable online therapy platforms use encrypted connections and secure apps that are designed for confidential healthcare communication. Sessions are held in a private space of your choosing, which can feel safer than a public waiting room.
See trusted online therapy platforms →
How do costs compare with in-person therapy?
Online therapy can sometimes be more affordable overall: there are no travel costs, less time away from work or family, and many platforms offer predictable weekly pricing. The value often comes from being able to attend regularly without extra friction.
