Find your pace.
Weekly one-to-one lessons for beginners and returning players. No audition and no experience needed.
Piano
For ages 6 through adult. We work on melody, rhythm, reading and getting your hands comfortable at the keys. Songs and short exercises give you something clear to practice between lessons.
What you’ll need
We have a piano for lessons and trials. For regular practice, you’ll need a piano or a touch-sensitive keyboard at home. Talk to us before buying one.
Guitar
For ages 8 through adult. Learn to tune, change chords and hold a rhythm with songs you enjoy. Acoustic and electric players are welcome; a simple song is a good first milestone.
What you’ll need
Bring your guitar if you have one. A studio guitar is available for the trial. We’ll help you check size and comfort before you choose an instrument for home.
Violin
For ages 6 through adult. Start with a comfortable hold, bow control and careful listening. We add reading and finger patterns as the first sounds become more settled.
What you’ll need
Let us know the student’s age range before the trial so we can plan for an appropriate size. Please wait for a fit check before buying or renting a violin.

More time to explore a piece.
Prices are per student, per lesson. Regular students meet weekly and pay for that month’s scheduled lessons in advance. Books and instrument rental are separate; we agree on any purchase with you first.
Give at least 24 hours’ notice to move a lesson, subject to availability. Later cancellations are charged. A lesson we cancel is rescheduled or credited.
A first lesson, without the guesswork.
Can I start as an adult beginner?
Yes. Adult beginners and returning players are welcome on all three instruments. Tell us what you would like to play; you do not need to read music already.
Does a child need an instrument before the trial?
No purchase is needed before the trial. We have a piano and a studio guitar. For violin, tell us the age range first so we can arrange an appropriate size. A parent or guardian should make the request.
Still choosing an instrument?
That’s a perfectly good place to start. Tell us what you’re curious about.
