Discovery Music Academy, a local piano-instruction business run by Mary Walby, now has a permanent studio space inside Piper Music on Meridian Street in Bellingham.

Walby previously rented space from Piper Music, but the permanent studio will allow her to expand her operating hours, which are made by appointment only.

Walby started Discovery Music Academy in 2012. She has more than 25 years of experience in piano instruction and performance.
