Our teachers are all accomplished musicians who care deeply about their students.  They customize lessons based upon your child's learning styles, personality, and musical preferences.  As they grow as a musician, your child will help to choose the direction their lessons will take, the style of music they will focus on, and specific songs they will play.

Students set their own practice goals and earn small prizes each month for meeting those goals.  Certificates, pins and trophies are presented at our recitals for meeting practice goals throughout the year and also for moving from level to level in their note reading, musicianship, and performance skills.  Last year we gave trophies to seven students who practiced every single day of the school year!

One of the most enjoyable aspects of making music is becoming part of a musical community and developing friendships with other musicians. Our students get together once a month from September through May for a Saturday Workshop where your child will have an opportunity to perform for other students (if they choose to); play together with other young musicians in combos, duets, trios, and ensembles; and enjoy a snack and a music game.

Our lessons and classes run year round.  For our private and group lessons we choose a summer theme each year (movie music, Disney, pop music, etc.).  Our students choose their favorite songs in this theme arranged at a level they are able to play well. We also run a friendly competition with prizes for the students who log the most practice time over the summer. This light-hearted approach to summer lessons allows your child to enjoy playing through the summer and prepares them for renewed focus on new concepts and skills in the new school year...and it makes for a summer full of musical fun for your child!

Performing in workshops and recitals is encouraged but not required.  Students have the opportunity to play for other students during our monthly workshops.  This helps prepare them for performing during our concerts each year in May, August and December.  These are memorable events where our students perform on stage for their family and friends, sharing their new skills, songs, and love for music. There also may be other opportunities for smaller groups of students to perform at retirement homes and community events.
