We offer private lessons in guitar, piano, bass (upright and electric), mandolin, drums, voice, saxophone, violin, flute and clarinet for ages 7 and up. We are continually expanding our school programs to include different and new instruments - if you don’t see something listed, feel free to ask us!
We usually recommend starting at age 7, although if a student is expressing a strong and serious interest in a certain instrument, we will teach children as young as age 5.
Absolutely. It is never too late to begin taking lessons, and we accept adult students at all levels, whether complete beginners or seasoned players. In addition, our band program matches adults of similar skills and tastes into adult groups. Click here for more on our band program.
Yes. Students enrolled in piano lessons will be given assignments each week to practice at home. We expect students to be able to put in consistent practice time throughout the week, so having a piano at home is essential. For beginners, we’d be happy to recommend inexpensive options, including basic keyboards, that may be suitable to start.
Not at first. Beginning students will only need to purchase a practice pad. We recommend coming to the first lesson and talking to the instructor before purchasing.
You will need a guitar to practice with at home. If you do not already have an instrument, we recommend talking to the instructor at the first lesson about what to purchase. If a student wants to study electric guitar, you will also need to purchase an amp and guitar cables. There are many reasonably priced options - we will be happy to provide recommendations.
Parents are encouraged to sit in on lessons - family involvement greatly impacts a student’s progress. Your teacher will be able to tell you a suitable time to observe. After every lesson, teachers will always meet with the parents in the studio lobby to explain what was covered that day, and what the student should be practicing at home during the coming week.
