FAQ:  
  • At this price, do you have quality instructors?
    • YES, our instructors are top notch and as a 30+ year music educator, the owner only hires instructors that know their instruments and know how to teach!  Check out the About page and you will be amazed at who we have as instructors!
  • We have a vacation planned.  Do you prorate?
    • We do not prorate as we still pay our instructors for each week, however most have found that even if you miss a week or two, at our prices, it is still lower than any around and well worth it.
  • If we miss a week, will they be able to catch up?  
    • Yes, our Summer structure is meant to work with people coming and going and they will catch you right back up!
  • We won't have much time to practice with our schedule.  Is that ok?
    • We understand Summer and understand and with our structure, you will still have valuable lessons, regardless of practice.  Of course the more you put in, the more you get out, but we understand.
  • ​Can we observe a class prior to the Summer commitment?
    • ​If you email us PRIOR to our current semester ending in May, we can schedule an observation.  You are also welcome to come and observe our Open Mic or Piano Recitals as well.  Once the semester ends, we do not have a way for you to observe a class.
Guitar Class Descriptions
  • 4 chords and 6 songs - In this introductory course, students will learn that by mastering just four basic chords and some simple strumming patterns, they can apply their new skills to many pop and rock songs.
  • Improvisation & Playing by Ear - While we often focus on reading notation and playing written music, this seven-week course will push our guitarists to explore a new skill: learning to hear and play back music, or even improvise (create) music as they hear it!
  • Riffs & Tabs - In this class, students will learn to play the "hook" or the catchy and notable melodies of several famous songs using tablature (tabs)--a simpler yet popular way to learn riffs quickly.
  • Sample of Styles  - Over the course of seven weeks, students will learn three styles of playing and how they differ (styles might include pop, rock, country, folk, jazz, etc.).
  • Basic Guitar for Teachers & Adults - Geared to meet the need of busy adults that have always wanted to learn.
  • Basic Guitar for Music Teachers - This would be geared to music teachers that already have a solid grasp on music but want to learn guitar and possibly use that for instruction.
