Private Lessons
30-60 minutes, ages 4-adult.
One-on-one instruction on an instrument of the student’s choice. We currently offer lessons on drum set, ukulele, guitar, bass, violin, piano, and voice.
Group Lessons
30-60 minutes, ages 4-adult
Group instruction on drum set, ukulele, guitar, bass, violin, piano, or voice. We recommend our group classes as the best option for most students. Students are usually most motivated when learning alongside their peers, and the group format helps them find their place in our community and make lasting relationships with their classmates and instructors.
Rock Bands
30-60 minutes, ages 5-adult
In order to get the most complete experience possible at our school, we strongly encourage all students who have advanced enough in their skillset on their chosen instrument to join one of our many student rock bands. Bands meet once a week under the direction of an instructor to rehearse and prepare material to perform in our 3x/yearly school concerts, which are held at a professional music venue.
Parent and Child Group Classes
45 minutes, ages 0-4
Parent and child classes are the perfect start in music for infants and toddlers. In these play-based classes, parents (or caretakers) and children get to explore instruments and music-centered games together while making friends within our community and creating positive associations with music.
Drum Circle/Group Ukulele Classes
30 minutes, ages 4-7
These classes are a fantastic way for young students to begin structured, skill-focused lessons on hand drums and ukulele, the two most beginner-friendly instruments for younger children. Splitting the classes between the two instruments helps keep the sessions fun and fresh, while the students learn songs and games that help develop their skills at listening, focusing, following directions, and playing in an ensemble, while also developing their rhythmic vocabulary and fine motor control.
Music Theory Classes
30-45 minutes, ages 12-adult
In our group music theory classes, students will explore the topics of harmony, music composition, and ear training which will improve their ability to make, understand, and enjoy music.
Music History
30-45 minutes ages 5-adult
Group classes where students can learn about a wide variety of eras and styles of music from all over the world.
