Question 2

What lessons do you offer?

Accepted Answer

We offer private lessons in voice, piano, and ukulele. Lessons are crafted to support each individual student's goals. Lesson topics can be broad or focused on more niche areas like song writing, music theory, audition prep, etc. depending on their goals.

Question 3

What should I expect at my first lesson?

Accepted Answer

It's important that you find an instructor that you trust and connect with. We will spend some time getting to know each other and then start digging into exercises, musical concepts, and repertoire based on the experience level you are starting at.If you're taking a voice lesson, I'd recommend making a short list of songs you feel comfortable singing to show off what your voice can do and where you may need some support.If you are taking a piano or ukulele lesson and you know any songs or skills already, I'll have you show me what you know. If you don't have any experience - don't worry! I'll help you with the basics in the first lesson.

Question 4

How much do lessons cost?

Accepted Answer

Pricing can be found here.

Question 5

What if I have to miss a lesson?

Accepted Answer

Students are permitted one (1) free lesson cancellation per semester (January-June & July-December). To use their free cancellation credit, the instructor must be notified via call, text, or email at least 24 hours in advance. Lessons cancelled less than 24 hours in advance or beyond the one (1) free cancellation per semester are paid cancellations; they cannot be rescheduled or refunded.Payment is based on enrollment, not attendance. Students will be charged for lessons as long as they are enrolled to continually reserve their weekly time slot on the schedule. No makeup lessons are given for lessons missed by the student. All policies can be viewed in the document below.

Question 6

Do I need my own instrument?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Ukulele students will need to bring their own instrument for lessons.For piano students, you'll get to learn to play on a baby grand piano in my studio. I recommend acquiring a keyboard or piano for your own home after the first month of lessons. This gives students enough time to decide if they want to commit to learning the instrument before making an investment. Piano students will need an instrument to practice on between lessons. I can provide a list of recommendations.

Question 7

Can anyone really learn to sing or play an instrument?

Accepted Answer

Yes! We firmly believe that when students receive quality instruction and support, they can learn any skill at any age and any experience level. Similar to athletics, growth takes time, practice, and dedication!We've seen success in students from the ages of 4 to 94. Really!
