Violin and Strings: We accept violin, viola and cello students from the are of four years old. Some teachers will start younger children, but our experience has shown us the most productive learning occurs when the beginner is at least four year old.

Guitar - Acoustic, Electric and Bass Lessons: Five years old and up for private lessons and seven years old and up for group lessons. Guitar playing requires a fair amount of pressure on the fingertips for pressing on the strings. Young children generally have small hands and may find playing uncomfortable. Bass guitar students are usually ten years or older.

Drum/Percussion Lessons: Usually eight years old would be about right for beginning drums. This can vary quite a bit depending on the size of the child. Being able to reach both the pedals and the cymbals is the main physical concern.

Voice Lessons: Six years old is recommended as the youngest age for private vocal lessons. Due to physical nature (proper breathing techniques, development of vocal chords and lung capacity) the younger body is generally not yet ready for the rigors of vocal technique.

Piano Lessons: At our school four years old is the youngest age that we start children in piano lessons. At this age they have begun to develop longer attention spans and can retain material with ease.

Private and group music lessons for piano, guitar, voice, drums, violin, cello, flute, saxophone and more!

Drum/Percussion Lessons: Usually eight years old would be about right for beginning drums. This can vary quite a bit depending on the size of the child. Being able to reach both the pedals and the cymbals is the main physical concern.You'll receive one on one attention that will really speed you along toward meeting your goals. Students who take private percussion lessons often improve more rapidly and develop confidence more quickly with intensive, individual instruction. Move from a beginner to full mastery of your chosen instrument. These lessons are geared toward your individual needs. 30 minute, 45 minute or one hour lessons are available. They can be intense or taught with an easy touch, depending on what you desire. If you want to croon like Sinatra, play piano like Alicia Keys or Van Cliburn, this is the program for you. Classical, Rock 'n Roll or even Country Western. All types and styles of music.

PRIVATE PERCUSSION LESSONS are taught on acoustic drum sets with high quality cymbals - two sets in each sound controlled studio so the student can model the teacher during the drum lessons. Beginning drum lesson students start with snare techniques and move to full set, and we teach mallets (vibraphone) as well. Drum lesson students read drum set notation, learn the rudiments, and play along with recorded tracks. Students bring in CD's from their favorite bands to learn and chart out the "tricks" and fills. If drum lesson students do not have a set at home, they can start with a practice pad and sticks. Our teachers are advanced professional musicians and can help experienced players build their skill set.

Let's face it, what's more fun than playing music!

Private Percussion Lessons Include:

University Trained Teachers
Our instructors are highly qualified and many have extensive performance experience. Most importantly, our instructors strive to relate their teaching to each individual student's learning style.

All Ages - Beginners to Advanced
Our current students range from 3 years old to many students in their 60's and 70's. We take care to teach what you want to learn so music is rewarding for students of all ages and levels.

Parent & Child Lessons - Together
Parent and child taking lessons on the same instument can both study with the same teacher at the same time. 45 minute lessons are suggested for this option. Since students progress at different rates, the teacher will recomend when individual lessons are right for you.

Professional Environment
There are many teachers that teach out of their homes. In between phone calls and domestic duties, they find time to give their students a lesson. This is not exactly the best place to learn a skill like playing a musical instrument. That's why taking lessons from a school that's well equipped, can offer a variety of programs, has front desk staff to answer calls and any questions you may have about your lessons has an obvious advantage for the serious music student.

Regularly Scheduled Weekly Lesson
People learn skills like golf or tennis or even playing a musical instrument through regular and consistent review from a professional. Even Tiger woods has an occasional tune up from a pro golf coach. The way you do something, or "form", is a big part of learning any coordinated physical activity. By having your own private lesson with a professional instructor, your form is consistently being checked. This prevents the development of bad habits that can cause all sorts of problems and sometimes take a long time to correct.
