WE CAN TEACH YOU ANYTHING! Between 8 instructors at our Park West location, and decades of teaching and performance experience, there isn't an instrument or genre we can't teach you how to play. Most people ask for one of the "big four" (piano, guitar, drums, or voice). That might be a good place to start if you're unsure about what interests you. Generally, most piano, drum, and vocal students begin at 5 years old, guitar at 6 years old, and band instruments in 4th grade. Please use our contact form to find out more or to find an instructor that works for you!
We recommend beginners take 30 minute private lessons once a week~ $110 a month.
