Specialties
Music Lessons – We offer instruction in classical and jazz piano, guitar, theory and composition to students of all ages. Lessons are 1 hour and include performance, reading, theory and aural skills. For very early ages, we offer ½ hour lessons for the first 6 months of instruction. – Our students participate in a variety of performance experiences, including quarterly recitals, student workshops, and competitions. We believe performing is an integral part of learning music and strive to offer both formal and informal opportunities in a supportive and encouraging atmosphere.
