Private Music Instruction

We offer private instruction in; electric & classical guitar, electric, upright, & piccolo bass, piano, drums, percussion, vocals, violin, viola, cello, saxophone, trumpet, clarinet, flute, and more. All instrumental and vocal classes are offered on a private, one on one, basis as the staple of the student’s education. In these sessions, the instructor will cover; reading, theory, and application of harmonic, rhythmic, & melodic concepts through song performance, improvisation and composition.

Instructors will also demonstrate various technical applications, and explore the styles of music the student expresses the most interest in. We offer half hour or full hour sessions which meet once a week at the same time each week. Full Hour lessons are suggested for all students approximately twelve years old and older. If one has the ability to maintain concentration and absorb information for a full hour, anything less than one hour per week would be a detriment to the student’s advancement and prove to be a futile attempt at progressive movement. Private sessions are not a requisite to join groups, but are suggested as the foundation of the student’s education.

Scheduling
Each of our students is assigned to a private instructor chosen to suit them, both personally and stylistically. A time slot for each student is reserved and lessons occur every week at the same time.
