What happens in lessons
What we teach
Every student learns from our own curriculum, developed exclusively for our school by our qualified staff and overseen by our Academic Director.
We also stay flexible around what students actually need. A younger beginner may work on rhythm, posture, and hand placement. A teen may focus on stronger timing and full songs. An adult may want to rebuild fundamentals or get back into playing after time away.
Technique
Lessons cover the physical side of playing: posture, hand position, timing, tone, finger strength, sticking, breathing, and control at the instrument.
Musicianship
Students work on rhythm, listening, ear training, reading, and theory. We teach these skills at the student's level and keep them tied to the music they are learning.
Repertoire
Students work on songs they enjoy and songs that push their playing forward.

Performance opportunities
Monthly recitals and live performance opportunities
We host monthly recitals. Students prepare a piece, work it up in lessons, and perform it in front of an audience.
We also offer live performance opportunities for students who want more stage time. Lessons can support recital prep, band prep, and live set prep.
Questions families actually ask
Questions about lessons
Who are lessons for?
Kids, teens, and adults. We teach beginners, returning players, and students who already play and want better instruction.
What is the difference between private and semi-private lessons?
Private lessons are one-on-one. Semi-private lessons place two students with one teacher. Semi-private works best when both students are close in age, level, or goals.
Do you offer online lessons?
Yes. We offer Zoom lessons.
Do I have to sign up monthly?
No. We offer monthly enrollment and a la carte lessons.
Is there a registration fee?
No. There is no registration fee for lessons.
Do students get chances to perform?
Yes. We host monthly recitals. We also offer live performance opportunities for students who want them.
Is financial support or charter funding available?
Yes. We work with charter schools and Self-Determination funding programs, and lessons can be paid through approved funding. See what that covers and how it works on our Funding Support page.
