Absolutely! For example, one student could do a guitar lesson while the other takes voice or piano or flute!
Most students have lessons once a week. We also have students who do several lessons each week.
We have students as young as four who have started on piano and even guitar and violin.
You don’t have to be four years old to experience the joy of piano lessons, guitar lessons or voice lessons. We have many adult students who are complete beginners. Always wanted to learn to play the piano? Now you can.
We are a year-round studio. In addition to regular lessons, students have the option to take a one-week intensive called Summer Immersion. It’s like your own mini-music camp, with one-on-one time with the instructor. We also offer a ton of summer camps to choose from. Everything from Songwriting to Camp Rock and Piano Academy to Strings Rock!
Yes, we are excited to partner with Rhythm Instruments for just about every instrument you may need. You absolutely will not find a better deal on your rental. Most band and orchestra instruments range from $20 to $30 per month. More expensive instruments such as saxophones and cellos range from $40 to $50 per month. It’s a month-to-month, rent-to-own contract. Choose either a 10-month or a 20-month payoff – pretty sweet!
