  • We offer private + group lessons, or a combination of both. We have contemporary, classical, jazz and musical theater voice teachers and plenty of performance experience to polish the skills acquired.

  • We offer private guitar lessons for all levels and groups for beginners. Our guitar teachers have been performing professionally for decades and are qualified to teach every style imaginable!

  • We offer private ukulele lessons for all levels and group lessons for beginners. It’s a great instrument to learn before taking guitar lessons as a lot of the strumming and fretting techniques can be applied!

  • We offer private electric and upright bass lessons and also provide opportunities to form a band within the student body based on the style of music the student is the most passionate about!

  • We offer private drum lessons for all ages and also provide opportunities to form bands with other students based on the preferred style of music. A basic understanding of the drums can help enhance a sense of rhythm that can be applied to all musical endeavors, including dancing!

  • We offer private + group songwriting instruction, which encourages collaboration, self-expression and peer support to turn ideas into fully formed songs. Our intimate performance space is available for songwriters to share original music on a regular basis.

  • Learn all the ins and outs of being in a great band from conducting a rehearsal, making a set list, running soundcheck, promoting a show, creating posters + stage plots, contacting venues, etc! Our staff knows ALL about being in bands of all sizes and styles.

  • Yes, we also offer banjo lessons! Take your campfire hoe down to the next level!

  • The mandolin is tuned like a violin, so if you are already familiar, this is a fun transition to a rhythm instrument. Your bluegrass jams will never be the same!
