With regard to learning to play an instrument, it’s pretty darned simple: Sign up for lessons, come every time, practice, and you’ll get better. We believe EVERYONE has enough musical ability to please themselves, and we make sure that lessons are fun, easy, and low-pressure.
We offer lessons Monday-Saturday from 10am to 8pm on just about any instrument that you can imagine (sorry, no drum lessons). Lessons are typically done in 30 minute sessions, although some teachers do offer hour-long sessions. Most students schedule one lesson per week, which is just about the right amount of time to learn something, but not have your head explode. Students pay the instructors directly at the start of each month for the entire month (which usually includes four individual lessons).

Here’s our current roster of instructors, what they teach and the days they teach: (we’ll try to add pics of each of them sometime soon, in case you’d like to see exactly who you’ll be sitting across from, or next to, for the 30 minutes you’re here…)
