About
Students constantly tell us that we are so much more than just music lessons, because of how we connect with each and every one of them. It feels like a loving, caring community. Knowing they feel that, is exactly why we love being peoples choice for guitar, drum, piano, voice, ukukele and bass lessons in Schenectady, NY

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
The Warren Lesson approach is based on each individuals personal goals and needs. Each instructor is gifted in tapping into the style of teaching each student responds to best.
Some like a traditional "Here's the lesson, learn it, get more" while others enjoy a more interactive style where we explore what music has to offer, through the songs they like.
Some want to read music off a page, while others want to do it like they see their favorite performer do.
It's Never a one size fits all approach.

Why does this matter?
My personality and teaching style, combined with my vast and varied experience and musical knowledge at the highest levels, allows me to guide students anywhere they desire.
Whether students want to play for their own personal satisfaction, play a simple campfire song, play in a group, perform in public, attend music school, pursue a musical career, or just play for fun, I can lead you there.
We will work together to accomplish any music goals you have at a speed you are most comfortable with. Building relationships and musical skills is my forte. I love what I do, and my students can feel that.
