FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How long is each lesson? +
We offer 30, 45, and 60 minute private lessons. Most beginners start with 30 minutes; older students and serious learners typically choose 45 or 60.
Do you offer a free trial? +
Yes — every new student gets a free 30-minute trial lesson so you can meet the teacher and make sure it's a good fit before enrolling.
What if my child has never touched an instrument? +
Perfect. Most of our students start as complete beginners. Our teachers build from zero — no prior experience required.
Do you teach adults? +
Absolutely. Roughly a quarter of our students are adult learners, from absolute beginners to returning musicians.
Do we need to own an instrument? +
For piano, voice, and percussion, we can work with what's at home or in the studio. For guitar, bass, ukulele, and violin we'll help you find a good starter instrument in any budget.
How do recitals work? +
We host two recitals a year. Participation is encouraged but optional — performing is a powerful confidence builder.
