Private Lessons - Click here for a detailed description of our private
music lessons

Private lessons are offered on all popular instruments and voice. We have found that private one-on-
one instruction allows students to progress at their own pace and gain the best understanding of
musical techniques. Student can start private lessons as young as 5 years old. Students can start
private lessons any time of the year or month so there's no need to wait to get started. A variety of
styles are taught such as pop, jazz, rock and classical. Contact the school office to see which times
and days are available.

Recitals and Concerts
Students are given an opportunity to perform in over 20 recitals held over the course of the year. All of
our music recitals have free admission, so the whole family and friends can attend to enjoy the
performances. Our students have made it a tradition to bring food bank donations to recitals making
the events both enjoyable and meaningful.
