Our teachers make it a priority to get to know you on a personal level and to become familiar with your personal needs and goals.
If you enroll here in lessons, we will work with you to make a plan that will fit your needs and musical preferences. At the first lesson the teacher will ask you your favorite type of music, and set goals to accomplish whatever musical aspirations you have for yourself or your child.
We teach all styles from rock, pop, jazz, country, blues and classical!
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
All of our teachers possess a college degree in music at schools as well as being a performing professional musician. However no matter how much education our teachers possess a main ingredient we require of our teachers is their character and desire to help their students in a fun and educational environment.
