Lessons may be held in-person or online, and include general musicianship skills, theory and genre-specific instruction. Students may also choose to learn composition and songwriting techniques, and perform in solo and ensemble recitals. Whether you’re interested in mastering the basics, or delving into classical, pop or jazz, you can find instruction here. Inquire below to learn about individual instructor rates and scheduling.

OUR VISION

We share a vision of music as a bridge to the soul.
As teachers, we are dedicated to the building of that bridge in
all who come to us.
We see our school as a kind of sanctuary in which to work and grow.
Music is a healing force in a troubled world.
