Trial Lessons For Kids

Why semester billing?
We make a commitment of time for your child and provide all materials and music. This includes any new sheet music we may purchase to match your child’s personal interest. By committing to us, we can commit to you and accomplish a lot – dependent on student participation. All lessons are private and customized towards your child’s interests and abilities.
Adult Lessons
We now offer adult lessons. These are at the same rates but will be billed monthly in advance.
- 30 min – $65
- 45 min – $98
- 60 min – $130
We start with 2 trial lessons, usually a week apart. This enables you and your teacher to build a rapport, work on something and see how it’s going. After that, we move to monthly billing.
