Private Lessons

If you choose private lessons, our highly trained teachers will work with you to determine the appropriate coursework for your current level and to achieve your personal goals. We currently offer private lessons in Piano, Guitar, and Electric Bass.

Self-paced Online Classes

Our self-paced online classes incorporate the MusicFirst Classroom (MFC) platform, which is used in thousands of K-12 classrooms globally and is already familiar to many of our students. Along with lessons and videos we've created, students have access to a wide range of MFC software including PracticeFirst, Auralia, Musitian, and more. These software packages provide opportunities for online assessments. PracticeFirst will even listen to you playing along with a practice track and provide feedback on your pitch, rhythm, and intonation so you can see right away what you need to work on! See below for our current course offerings.
