Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
Our teachers make it a priority to get to know you on a personal level and to get familiar with your personal musical needs and goals.
We do not teach treat every student the same or teach "canned lessons". Every lesson is personalized and fit to our student's needs and goals.
A seven-year-old student at their very first guitar lessons will have very different needs than a fifty-seven-year-old taking up piano for the 2nd time after having lessons as a child.
The main reason to have lessons at the Academy as your music lesson provider is that we are sensitive that every student is an individual.
If you enroll here for lessons we work with you to make a plan that will fit your needs and musical preference. At your first lesson, your teacher will ask you about your favorite type of music and set goals to help you accomplish whatever musical aspirations you have for yourself or your child.
We teach rock, pop, jazz, country, blues, and classical
