FAQ

How old does my child have to be to start taking music lessons?

Music lessons are great at any age! But we focus on primary instruments starting at around 5.

Do you offer instrument rentals?

Yes we do! Most of our instrument rentals are $25 a month, or $35 a month if you need an amplifier. No security deposit, but a minimum 2 month rental to give you time to pick the perfect instrument for you with the help of your teacher.

Do I need to stay for my child’s lesson?

You are welcome to drop off your child and return a few minutes before their lesson is done! If you would like to sit in on your child’s music class, we always have an open door policy and you are free to sit in at any time.

How long does it take to learn an instrument?

There is no set answer of how long it takes to learn an instrument. With regular practice, a basic level of playing can be accomplished in a few months. Most of our students take lessons on a long term basis because they want to be constantly improving and they find the lessons enjoyable.
