We have worked with students from age 3 up to 78! You are never too old to play an instrument.
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
We have monthly recitals (showcases) and all of them are very enjoyable for both the teachers and students. We like to encourage our students to perform to audience if they are up to it.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
The student should make sure the teacher is degreed or has applicable experience. Also, the student and teacher should make sure the goals are clearly understood. We believe setting goals is very important upfront.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
The student should make sure they have the time to practice at least 20 to 30 minutes per day. They should also look at their schedule and make sure they can attend the weekly lesson on a consistent basis.
