We teach both! Currently, we have a home and backyard music studio location and can stream our classes online also if students can't attend in person. Our home music studio has several rehearsal spaces indoors and outdoors where students can learn in a relaxed and fun setting.
Typically we have at least one instructor per 6-8 kids. Sometimes we have more and sometimes we have less depending upon the type of class and the needs of the students. We may have special days as well where we bring in guest experts on specific instruments. Our goal is support the kids the best we can and make the best show possible.
Come to one of our instrument sampling sessions at the beginning new class sessions! We have kids test out their aptitude on different instruments, listen to what they sound like. We help them pick an instrument based on the sound they like best, and which one felt most natural.
Pamela Miller, the main teacher, is highly skilled in multi-instrument teaching techniques. She uses a method book specifically made for band and orchestra teachers who are teaching students a variety of instruments at once. This is the way band and orchestra is taught in school, and is very normal. Pamela is currently pursuing a Masters Degree in Music Conducting, and has a Bachelors Degree in Music Education and Music Performance. his is her area of expertise, so don't worry! We also have additional teachers to break up student groups into like instruments also to teach specified skills. For example, vocal students don't take their main lessons with trombone players and ukulele students don't take their main lessons with cello students. They do all combine for our Show Time rehearsals though!
Weekly private lessons usually range between $60-$100 for an hour. Our weekly classes are offered in memberships starting at $100/month. If we have more than 8 students per class, the rate goes down for everyone enrolled as well, so invite your friends! In addition to the lower price, students in group classes get the added benefits of learning to work as a team, learning from each other, and performing in a relaxed group environment. Sibling discounts available. We offer limited financial assistance upon request as well. Pop in classes are available upon request.
Our option to make up a class includes live streaming or recording the class so students can repeat the lesson on their own time! We do not do refunds on missed classes however, as instructors must be paid for their time even if students can't attend a particular day.
Register by emailing us and we will send you a registration form for your particular class. Some instruments aren't included, so once you are registered, we can recommend local music stores with good instruments at competitive prices. Instrument rentals are usually around $20/month and they include insurance plans in case of an accident or lost instrument! For some classes, especially for younger kids general music classes, we often provide instruments.
