Our Approach.
We believe excellent music education begins with a strong foundation. For this reason, our students, regardless of instrument, learn how to read music. This instruction is initiated and accompanied by a series of books that provide the curriculum foundation of our teaching process.
But, don’t worry… it’s not all books and guidelines. Our goal is for music education to be fun! Alongside the foundational teaching methods, we explore the musical interests of every student. Interested in playing rock music, or how to sing your favorite song?
Let’s learn together.
1-on-1 teaching.

Piano
We teach piano through the Bastien method. The gradual multi-key approach takes students through theory, performance, and sight reading.

Voice is a personal instrument which requires an even more tailored approach. We teach vocal principles that will translate across genres.

When learning an instrument for the first time, we encourage students to stick to one. As they progress and have the basics down, they are welcome to look into another one. However, if your current instructor does not also teach the new, desired instrument, an additional lesson time will be needed.
For example, let’s say your student is enrolled in guitar lessons, but wants to begin voice as well. If your guitar instructor is not also a voice instructor, we will find you an additional lesson time with a voice instructor. You will then have two different lessons per week, for a total of one hour.
As a general rule, piano is considered the most foundational instrument. If you’re trying to decide between piano and another instrument, consider giving piano a try! It will benefit you with any other instrument you decide to learn. -
Absolutely. We encourage all parents/guardians to attend lessons as observers! This allows you, as the parent, to be engaged and informed on your student’s learning process.
