Music Instruction
We offer private instruction from age 5 and up in piano, guitar, voice, violin, drums and drama.  

Lessons are one-on-one for 30 minutes each once a week.

Piano students should have a full size keyboard or piano available to them for practicing.  

Violin students should wait until after the first lesson before purchasing an instrument.  We encourage all students to participate in a yearly recital offered in May.  This is a great opportunity for them to showcase all they have been learning and it is a great source to build confidence.  Students are responsible for purchasing books and/or music for lessons.  Teachers will communicate what is needed and where to purchase it.
