Beginner Lessons
Overview
Beginner lessons are designed for students who are interested in learning a new instrument or better appreciating an instrument they already love. The curriculum is relaxed and flexible, allowing students to explore their musical identities in a comfortable and encouraging environment.
This curriculum begins with a focus on the instrument of the student’s choosing. With the help of their instructors, students will learn to read music, develop technical skills on their chosen instrument, and practice their performance skills in front of their friends and peers during recitals. In addition to helping students study their chosen instrument, this curriculum allows unparalleled opportunities to explore other topics within music if they choose.
Students of all ages and abilities are welcome to enroll in any of our Beginner lessons. This program is especially recommended for students within their first two years of music study, or any student younger than ten years old. Students may cancel their enrollment at any time or upgrade their education to our Standard lessons.
Scheduling and Booking
Beginner lessons were developed with families and working adults in mind, and so offer unparalleled scheduling flexibility. Students have the ability to book their lessons through our online booking portal with as little as 24 hours notice. Our rescheduling and make-up policies allow students to reschedule their lessons for any reason with as little as 24 hours notice, which may be waived under special circumstances like illness or family emergency.

Weekly lessons and daily practice are highly encouraged to ensure that students develop their musical skills at a personally satisfactory rate.
