Yes. Even if you don’t have a musical background you can ask the teacher for advice on how to help your child practice. By simply monitoring that they are doing exercises a certain number of times per day the student will progress. Many parents occasionally sit in on their child’s music lesson to get an idea of the proper way a song should sound or how the student should be positioning their hands. You are your child’s best coach!
Definitely! We are happy to teach adults at any age and at any level from beginning to advanced. Lessons are provided in a fun, low pressure environment.
Most teachers require a book for their students to use. In addition, there may be other accessories the student will want in order to progress within his/her studies.
(Example: capo, tuner, strap, songbooks, videos)
Our teachers are highly educated, experienced and licensed professional instructors. Each instructor has already been properly screened and has been very carefully chosen for their skills and abilities. Our job is to give you best music education possible, in order to do this our instructors are required to focus solely on teaching. For that reason, it is not in the instructor’s job description, nor in our policies, to be interviewed by prospective students or parents.
They can try another instrument. Our students are free to switch over to another instrument at any time. It is better to try something else than to end up hating music! However, it does take several months to develop a basic level of playing. It is best to try and give it a minimum of 2 months before deciding to change instruments or to quit. Students are not locked into taking lessons with us, you are free to remove your child from lessons and discontinue payment anytime. All you need to do to discontinue lessons is fill out a withdrawal form before the 15th of your last month with us.

Yes. You must have an instrument that you are comfortable with. You should bring your Instrument to your lesson each week. We also offer a variety of instrument rentals.
We offer lessons in a wide variety of instruments. They include: piano, guitar, cello, ukulele, violin, flute, clarinet, saxophone.
We recommend a minimum of 15 minutes per day, six day’s per week. Although this is the absolute minimum recommendation, students will progress faster and remember more if they are able to practice more often. Short practice sessions done several times per day, every day, works out much better than longer practice sessions a few times per week. For young children, the practicing goes much better if the parent supervises.
We have over 39 highly dedicated, experienced, and qualified teachers that are accomplished in classical, jazz, folk, rock, country, blues, gospel, religious and various cultural music, as well as composition and improvisation.
