Kind words

From our guests

My daughter counts down the days to her piano lesson every week. Her teacher is so patient, and the winter recital had her beaming for days afterward.
Maria C. · Parent · Piano, age 8
I always told myself I was too old to learn guitar. Six months into the adult beginner group and I am playing songs I love. The vibe is warm and totally judgment-free.
Trevor B. · Adult beginner guitar
Both of my kids take lessons here and the scheduling has been a lifesaver. The teachers actually communicate with us about how things are going.
Anita R. · Parent · Violin & voice

Before you visit

Good to know

Do you rent instruments?

We keep a small fleet of pianos, guitars, and violins on site for use during lessons, and we partner with a local shop for affordable rentals you can take home. Just ask at your trial and we will help you find the right size and budget — no need to buy before you know it is a fit.

What happens if we miss a lesson?

Life happens. If you let us know at least 24 hours ahead, we will do our best to offer a makeup lesson within the same term, subject to teacher availability. Missed lessons without notice cannot always be rescheduled, but we will always try to help.

Are recitals required?

Never required — always welcome. We host seasonal recitals and casual play-ins so students can perform if they want to, but plenty of our students simply enjoy their lessons. Performing is a great confidence builder, and your teacher will let you know when you are ready if you are interested.

How does monthly tuition work?

After your trial, ongoing students enroll in a weekly slot billed as flat monthly tuition based on lesson length, so the cost is predictable from month to month. Group classes are billed per term. You will see the exact amount before you confirm — no hidden fees.
