OUR STUDENTS
We love working with students of all ages, from 3-year-olds to adults!
A large portion of our student base are actually adults who are learning a new instrument or re-learning an instrument from their childhood — you're never too old for music lessons!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
WILL I NEED TO BUY OR RENT AN INSTRUMENT?
Yes. We do not provide instruments for our students to take home, so you will need to purchase or rent an instrument.
If you don't have an instrument yet, don't worry! We actually recommend coming in for your first lesson before you buy an instrument, so our teachers can help you know what to look for and where to shop. Our teachers will let you try out their instrument during the lesson.
WHAT ARE YOUR RATES?
Our monthly program rates are
$120/month for weekly 30-minute lessons
$180/month for weekly 45-minute lessons
$240/month for weekly 60-minute lessons
Our "A La Carte" lesson rates are:
$45/lesson for 30-minute lessons
$67.50/lesson for 45-minute lessons
$90/lesson for 60-minute lessons
CAN I TRY OUT LESSONS WITHOUT MAKING A LONG TERM COMMITMENT?
Absolutely! When you sign up, you're only committing to lessons on a month-to-month basis, so if you're on the fence, we'd encourage you to try it out for a month and see if you enjoy it!
DO YOU OFFER EVERY-OTHER-WEEK OR OCCASIONAL LESSONS?
We highly encourage most students to sign up for our monthly program, since we've found weekly lessons are the best way to learn an instrument.
However, if you are interested in taking occasional lessons and cannot commit to a weekly time, we do offer an "A La Carte" program, which allows you to book individual lessons with no month-long commitment.
SHOULD STUDENTS PRACTICE IN BETWEEN LESSONS?
If you want to get the most out of music lessons, you should commit to some amount of practice time in between your lessons. Daily practice is ideal, even if it's for short amounts of time.
For younger children, we encourage the parents to get involved with helping children develop a practice routine and guiding their practice habits.
WHAT HAPPENS IF I MISS A LESSON?
If you are a member of our monthly program, you may schedule a makeup lesson for any lesson cancelled before 10 AM on the day of the lesson. There is no limit to the number of lessons that can be rescheduled, as long as your lesson has been cancelled before 10 AM.
If your lesson was an "A La Carte" lesson, we do not allow rescheduling or makeup lessons.

Yes. We do not provide instruments for our students to take home, so you will need to purchase or rent an instrument.
