Adult Music Lessons

Offering adult music lessons and classes for piano, voice, guitar, violin, cello viola, drum set, djembe, flute, and we have an adult choir. We cater to adults, so we offer flex schedules & university-style group classes that are designed for adult learners.

Private Lessons

Individual instruction for beginning through advanced students is offered for the following instruments: piano, voice, guitar violin, viola, cello, string bass, flute, piccolo, and ukulele. Adult students may enroll in lessons of 30, 45, or 60 minutes in length for the full year or on a per-semester basis.

We offer 2 schedules for adult students:

Standard Monthly Schedule

This schedule is for students that know they can commit to a structured and consistent schedule for music lessons and classes.

Flex-Schedule

This schedule is for students that travel a lot and know that they will not be able to come every week. Flex-Schedule is only for private lesson students and our university-style strings group classes.
