QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT BE WONDERING ABOUT
READY TO BEGIN?
"I haven't played in decades—can I really start with private lessons?" Absolutely! Private lessons are perfect for adults returning to music. Your teacher will meet you exactly where you are, help you rebuild skills at your own pace, and work with the muscle memory that's still there. Many of our most successful adult students are returning to instruments they once played.
"Will private lessons work with my busy adult schedule?" Yes! We offer both daytime and later evening appointments, and we work around your schedule with our teachers availability. Plus, when you miss a lesson, it's easy to reschedule since you're not disrupting a group. The block payment system also means you're not locked into a long-term commitment, so it's a risk free experience but it's also a long enough commitment to give yourself a chance to figure it out too.
"Are the adult concerts intimidating?" Not at all! These are intimate gatherings of fellow adults who all understand the courage it takes to learn as a grown-up. The atmosphere is supportive and celebratory—everyone is rooting for each other. Plus, you only perform when you're ready and confident. There is no pressure to be in the concerts but they are there for you!
"Is it worth the investment for adult private lessons?" You're investing in yourself in a way that pays dividends for life. Private lessons mean fast progress, complete individual attention, and learning that adapts to your adult brain and schedule. Most students find the stress relief, personal satisfaction, and skill development invaluable.
"What if I'm a complete beginner as an adult?" Private lessons are actually ideal for adult beginners! You get to ask all your questions without feeling self-conscious, progress at exactly your pace without group pressure, and learn in a way that makes sense to your adult mind. Many of our most enthusiastic students started as complete beginners.
"How do I know which teacher is right for me?" That's exactly why we offer the meet and greet! You'll have a chance to talk with potential teachers, ask questions about their approach, and make sure their teaching style matches your learning style. We want you to feel completely confident before starting less
