Our Instrument Programs
We offer private lessons across a variety of instruments, taught by passionate musicians who know how to connect with students of all ages. Each program includes opportunities for formal recitals and collaborative band performances.
Piano
Piano is a foundational instrument — great for beginners and advanced students alike. Our lessons emphasize strong technique, ear training, and musicality, all while keeping things fun. With formal recitals and a supportive environment, students gain confidence and performance experience from day one. Whether you’re learning your first notes or preparing advanced repertoire, our experienced teachers guide you every step of the way.
Voice
Singing is deeply personal — and that’s exactly how we teach it. Our voice instructors are not just great vocalists; they’re skilled at helping students build confidence, control, and stage presence. Voice students perform at recitals and collaborate in band concerts, learning to sing solo and with others. It’s the perfect path for self-expression and musical growth.
Guitar
Whether it’s acoustic fingerpicking or electric riffs, guitar lessons here are always student-centered. Students learn songs they love while mastering chords, scales, and techniques that build real skill. Teachers are patient, engaging, and great at adapting to different learning styles. Guitar students often perform in band concerts, gaining hands-on experience with real musical collaboration.
Drums
If your student loves rhythm, movement, or just wants to hit something (constructively!), drums are a fantastic outlet. Our percussion program teaches timing, technique, and dynamics, while keeping lessons engaging and accessible. Students participate in recitals and full-band performances, learning to listen and lead in group settings. Perfect for energetic learners who want to make an impact.
Strings (Violin, Viola, Cello, Bass)
Our strings program blends classical training with modern relevance. Students learn posture, technique, and expression through structured curriculum and personalized instruction. With opportunities to perform solo or in ensemble settings, string players develop discipline and artistry in a supportive, child-friendly environment. Many of our instructors come from orchestral backgrounds, making them ideal mentors for serious learners and casual hobbyists alike.
