All of our teachers have vast experience in teaching and instrument specific university degrees. After a lengthy interview process and reference checks, we only hire those teachers who are caring, nurturing, and imaginative educators passionate about their teaching.
Our adult program is designed to help adults start any instrument. Emphasis is placed on music for recreation and opportunities to perform or learn in a group setting as well. Did you know that music has many health benefits too? We also provide lesson times on weekends and evenings to accommodate your busy schedule.
We teach all styles from classical, rock, pop, jazz, country, folk, blues, and more. We combine the important fundamentals with the music YOU want to play. Our teachers understand that every student is an individual, with personal musical needs and goals. We make it a priority to tailor how we teach and what we teach to your individual needs.
We believe that any exposure to music can positively impact your child’s development in other areas of life as well as their enjoyment and having fun while learning music is first and foremost—we emphasize the process!
