We offer instruction from a staff of experienced teachers in a supportive, fun atmosphere. Lessons are available on a variety of instruments for all ages and ability levels, from beginning to advanced. Instruction can also include new styles, techniques, music theory and composition for interested students.<\/p>\n
Rates are $140 per month, payable on the first lesson of each month. Students will receive one 30 minute private lesson per week at their weekly lesson time. If the student is unable to make it to a lesson, they must notify the teacher at least 24 hours in advance to be eligible for a make-up lesson. Only one make-up lesson per month is allowed as the teacher’s schedule will permit.<\/p>\n<\/div>
